Sloppy Joes Tater Tot Nachos Recipe

OMG, Get out of town, shut the front door, this is INSANE! The only real reason I made this is because I made Weeknight Homemade Sloppy Joes for my good friends over at The Inspired Home and I had a ton of leftovers after every one was good and full.  So I started to think to myself, what should I do with all this leftover goodness?  Then it hit, BOOM!!  Talk about delicious, whoa!  It’s crazy because in less than 2 weeks I made sloppy joes 3 times.  The other time was in this Turkey Sloppy Joe Recipe with Mozzarella and Pickles which was dang good and could be used in this recipe as well.

This is actually really easy to make.  I’ve kind of been on this kick lately of knowing what’s in my food and if I can do it homemade then why wouldn’t I?  The sauce for sloppy joes is literally ketchup, mustard, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder and soy sauce, that’s it.  So the next time you’re thinking of popping open a can or tearing open a packet remember that you probably already have all of these ingredients on your shelves so give it a try.

The next thing that is on top is some crispy bacon I had leftover, some cut up bread and butter pickles and some balsamic onions.  I’ve mad balsamic onions a few times in some other recipes and it is just so easy.  Literally roasting onions while brushing them with balsamic vinegar every 5 to 7 minutes for about 30 minute on 400°, that’s all folks, it’s that simple.

The tater tots of course were already pre-made, sorry was not going to take the time to make those by hand, I have way more things to do then to worry about forming perfect little potato puffs, no offense.  If you want a killer nachos recipe then this is where it’s at!  It’s like that Wednesday night family meal all into one, you’re welcome :-).
