Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup tomato sauce
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 cups tortilla chips
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup sliced jalapeños (optional)
- 0.5 cup sour cream (optional, for topping)
- 1 cup diced tomatoes (optional, for topping)
- 0.25 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain off any excess fat if needed.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook until the onion is soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the tomato sauce, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Spread half of the tortilla chips on a large, oven-safe baking dish or sheet pan. Layer half of the sloppy joe mixture over the chips, followed by half of the shredded cheddar cheese. Repeat with a second layer of chips, sloppy joe mixture, and cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese has fully melted and the edges are slightly crispy.
Remove the Nacho Joes from the oven and top with jalapeños, sour cream, diced tomatoes, and cilantro, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
