Redneck Nachos for Game Day

It's week 2 of the Fall Blog Tour and we're sharing recipes this week. We began the week with Jennifer of The Striped House and her Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Pancakes (how can you go wrong with those two!) and Lisa of Concord Cottage with Pumpkin Zucchini Lasagna looks delicious! So, if you hopping over from their blogs, welcome!!

Here's my recipe for the week. I'm not sure if this qualifies as a recipe or a "throw-together" but either way, it's one of my family's favorites for watching our favorite football teams on game day!

Here's the list of things you'll need:

1 large bag On the Border Tortilla Chips (may not take the entire bag but use the extra chips for afterwards)
1 pound pulled pork BBQ (If you have a local favorite BBQ spot, that works best but a prepared one from the grocery store will also work)
1 15-oz. can great northern beans (drained)
1/2 cup chopped yellow onion
1/2 cup sliced banana peppers
1 bottle Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ Sauce (drizzle with about 1/4 cup but you may want the bottle for dipping later)
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Now we're ready to assemble!

Cover a baking sheet with the tortilla chips, about one chip layer deep.

Now, spread the entire pound of pork barbecue over the chips.

Spread the northern beans on top of the pork. I use a large fork or a slotted spoon to keep any remaining liquid in the can from making the chips soggy.

Oh, now for the good stuff. You don't want to skip this...Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ Sauce! We love this bbq sauce and it adds great flavor to the dish. Drizzle the sauce over the entire pan, adding as much or as little as you want. We normally use about a 1/4 cup. My hubby adds more to his plate of nachos for dipping too!

Now you get to pile on the peppers and onions (or your favorite toppings). My household is split so our nachos are half onion and half banana peppers.

Top it all with cheese and they're ready for the oven!

Bake in a 375 degree oven for about 10-15 minutes, until the cheese is completely melted and the outer chips are beginning to brown.

Once they're out of the oven, you can add sour cream or jalapeno peppers or even Sriracha sauce for a kick! I like them all on mine! :)

And, you're done! Just in time because the game is on!

Here's a printable and Pinnable (from the sidebar, sorry my hover Pin isn't working correctly) recipe card for you:

I hope you give these a try. They're simple but always a crowd pleaser. For another great fall recipe, don't forget to check out 2 Bees in a Pod tomorrow!! The blog tour continues with CoCo and Bobbi later this week! :)

Thanks for stopping by and God bless!
