Nacho Italiano

This is what happens when sausage pizza meets its nacho soul mate.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil

4 links hot Italian sausage, casings removed

1/2 cup green bell pepper, diced

1/2 cup onion, diced

1/2 cup roasted red pepper strips

1 12-ounce can evaporated milk

4 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese

1 tablespoon cornstarch

6 slices white American cheese slices (4 ounces)

1/2 teaspoon salt

Nonstick cooking spray

10 ounces thick corn tortilla chips

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

1. Place the sausage in a pan and cook over medium until brown and cooked through. Break sausage apart into small crumbles. Wipe the pan clean, add olive oil, bell pepper and olive and sauté for 3 minutes. Set aside.

2. In a medium pot over low heat, add the evaporated milk.

3. Combine mozzarella and cornstarch in a bowl until cheese is completely coated. Add mixture and American cheese to the pot and heat, stirring constantly, until the cheese is completely melted, about 3-4 minutes. Season with salt.

4. Spray a sheet pan with a light layer of nonstick cooking spray and add the chips in a single layer.

5. Sprinkle sausage, bell peppers, onions, and roasted peppers over the chips, then top with mozzarella cheese sauce.

6. Place the sheet pan under the broiler for 1-2 minutes, keeping a watchful eye so the chips are warm but not burned. 

7. Remove sheet pan from broiler and garnish nachos with red chili flakes and Parmesan.
