Sloppy Joe Nachos

Sloppy Joe Nachos

Ground beef with a sweet and tangy sauce, crispy chips, black beans, dill pickles, and of course plenty of cheese, sour cream and pico, make this a messy-licious meal kids and parents love!

Our family is crazy for nachos. When we go out to eat we almost always seem to order a nacho appetizer.

I love making them at home too because they are a fast and eazy peazy meal the kid will typically eat without complaint. Except my youngest boy, he won’t eat anything without complaint.

If you are like us and love a good nacho, try these Sheet Pan Chicken Nachos or Beef and Caramelized Onion Nachos.

We love Sloppy Joes at our house, whether they are homemade, or using a canned sauce. And using them to make fun recipes, not just lose meat sandwiches, is so much fun:

• Sloppy Joe Meatball Subs
• Sloppy Joe Casserole
• Sloppy Joe Twice Baked Potatoes
• Sloppy Joe Pizza Rolls

Using a canned sloppy joe sauce amps up the flavor without any extra work for me, which is a huge win. It is a hearty sauce that is sweet and tangy, and any variety works here: original, bold, or thick and chunky. Or make your own with my homemade sloppy joes.

What you need to make Sloppy Joe Nachos

• Ground beef: cooked and drained
• Sloppy joe sauce: one can, any variety
• Tortilla chips: I love a good salty chip!
• Black beans: drained and rinsed
• Grated cheese: cheddar and mozzarella cheese
• Dill pickle chips
• Sour cream
• Pico de Gallo

How you make Sloppy Joe Nachos

• Brown: To make these nachos I browned my ground beef, drained off the fat, opened a can of sloppy joe sauce, and dumped it over, and stirred.
• Layer: I heated up my cast iron skillet in a 350 degree oven, for about 10 minutes, put some chips in the skillet, added some drained back beans, heaped on the ground beef, sprinkled on cheese.
• Baked for 8 minutes until the cheese was melty.
• Toppings: Then I topped with sliced pickle chips, pico de gallo, and sour cream!

One of the things I love about canned sloppy joe sauce is that it is just sauce, no meat, making it perfect for all kinds of dishes, from casseroles, to traditional sloppy joes, to these tasty nachos.

And nachos are a meal you eat with both hands, which means no video games, phones, or iPads at the table!

While I love to make my own sauces when life allows, real life happens over here, and a can of sauce gets a hot, fun dinner on the table fast. It is the kind of easy weeknight meal moms and dads can depend on.
