It’s football season and while thatfact alone isplenty enough for many of you, I know thosegame-day snacks are a top priority too.Who wants to watch a game without something to snack on? Not me!
One of the favorite dinners in our house — especiallyon a game day — is sloppy joes. The kids love them, the husband loves them and bonus for me: they are so simple to make.I knew that convertingour sloppy joe sandwiches into deliciously cheesy and crunchy Sloppy Joe Nachos was a game day must!
Ingredients Needed for Sloppy Joe Nachos:
- Tortilla Chips (13oz)
- Lean Ground Beef (1 1/2 Pounds)
- Onion (1)
- Green Bell Pepper (1/2)
- Tomato Sauce (8oz)
- Tomato Paste (3oz)
- Brown Sugar (2 Tablespoons)
- Chili Powder (1 Teaspoon)
- Garlic Powder (1/2 Teaspoon)
- Worcestershire Sauce (1 Tablespoon)
- Red Wine Vinegar (1 Tablespoon)
- Red Pepper Flakes (1 Teaspoon)
- Cheddar-Jack Cheese (1 Pound – Shredded)
- Optional Topping: Sliced Green Onions, Chopped Tomatoes
Cooking Equipment Needed for Sloppy Joe Nachos:
To make your own Sloppy Joe Nachos recipe, you will need a great tortilla chip. I went withTOSTITOS Original Restaurant Style Tortilla Chips, whichare great for holding all the nacho layers.
In a large skillet, you’ll cook your sloppy joe mixture.It doesn’t take that long to make, which is great becauseyou don’t have to miss the pre-game show.And another great thing about this mixture is that it’s perfect to make ahead. Just make it the day before and heat it up before everyone wants to eat.
To assemble your Sloppy Joe Nachos, you’ll need an oven-safe pan. I like to serve individual batches made in pie pans. I usually use oldmetal pie pans that I’ve saved fromfrozen pies. If you don’t have any,you can either bymetal pie pansor even a baking sheet to make a larger batch.
Begin building your nachos by placing a layer of chips in your pan, a couple scoops of the Sloppy Joe mixture, and shredded cheese. Then repeat the layers again.
Place your pan of nachos in the oven until the cheese is all melted. Top with green onions and tomatoes, if you wish.

Description
Need a game day snack? My Sloppy Joe Nachos are a fun change of pace to usual nacho recipes.
Ingredients
Scale
- Frito-Lay TOSTITOS® Original Restaurant Style Tortilla Chips (13 ounce bag)
- 1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef
- 1 onion (chopped)
- 1/2 green bell pepper (chopped)
- 8 ounces tomato sauce
- 3 ounces tomato paste (1/2 of a 6 ounce can)
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 pound cheddar-jack cheese (shredded)
- Optional toppings: sliced green onions (chopped tomatoes)
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef, onions, and bell pepper until meat is brown and cooked thoroughly. Drain off any fat.
- While heating over low to medium heat, stir in tomato sauce, tomato paste, and water into the meat until combined. Stir in brown sugar, chili powder, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, and red pepper flakes. Stir until all ingredients are combined with the meat and mixture is hot. Remove from heat.
- Heat oven to 400 degrees F. In a metal pie plate, place a layer of TOSTITOS, then a couple scoops of the sloppy joe mixture, followed by shredded cheese. Repeat layers. Place pan in oven and cook until cheese is hot and melted (about 5 minutes). Remove from oven and top with sliced green onions and chopped tomatoes, if desired.
Notes
–Ingredients and serving size are approximate.
–Any size oven-safe pan can be used. I use metal pie plates to create individual servings, however a large baking sheet can also be used, especially for serving a bigger group of people.

Thank you for the recipe. I’m in the UK and have made sloppy joe a couple of times from different recipes but I don’t know how it’s meant to taste as I’ve never had it in the states. We don’t have it here. I’ll make yourself now. I serve mine on jacket potato rather than a bun.
