Ingredients
  

  • 3 Tablespoons Olive oil
  • 1 Pound ground Italian sausage mild, sweet, or hot
  • 2 Red bell peppers diced
  • 2 Green bell peppers diced
  • 1 Large yellow onion diced
  • 3 Cloves garlic minced
  • 2 Tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 Can diced tomatoes with green chilies drained
  • 1 12 ounce Bag tortilla chips
  • 4 Cups shredded Italian cheeses (such as mozzarella and fontina)

Toppings

  • Giarndiniera hot or mild
  • Pepperoncini
  • Parmigiano Reggiano
  • Fresh basil

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Add olive oil to a large pot over medium high heat. Add the sausage to the pot and cook until browned and cooked through; about 8 minutes. Remove the sausage with a slotted spoon and set aside.
  • Add the peppers and onion to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally until slightly softened; 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
  • Stir in tomato paste and the diced tomatoes. Add the sausage back to the pot, stir and cook for an additional 5 minutes until well combined. Season the sauce with kosher salt to taste.
  • Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the tortilla chips out in an even layer. Layer the sausage and peppers sauce and the cheese over the chips.
  • Bake for 5 minutes and then broil for an additional 1 minute until the cheese is melted, bubbly and browned in spots.
  • Top the nachos with giardiniera, pepperoncini, parmigiano, and fresh basil.
  • Enjoy!
