What to do with a little bit of leftover sloppy joe? I had dinner at my mom's after work on Friday and she suggested we make nachos from the leftover sloppy joe she had remaining from Thursday night's dinner. She loves nachos and swears that she can never make them to her liking. So when ever she needs a fix it's Amy to the rescue. By the way, the only reason my nachos might be better, in her eyes, is because she is always stingy on the cheese due to her fear of too many calories, too much fat, yadda, yadda, yadda, while I (when it comes to nachos) am concerned only with the taste. The key to delicious nachos is cheese and plenty of it. Also it's a good idea to layer the chips, meat, cheese, onions and jalapeno slices on a baking sheet, pop it in the oven to melt the cheese and heat everything up. Then top it with some freshness! A fresh salsa or relish on top is a great contrast to the rich warm meltiness. I like to make a chunky salsa of chopped tomato, avocado, black olives, fresh cilantro, salt and lime juice. Top it all with a little hot sauce and maybe some sour cream!
