I love good Italian Nachos. Mmm. And Sam had never had Italian Nachos so I searched around and found a few recipes and kind of just meshed them. So here you are!
I used Italian Sausage and pepperoni. You could also add shredded chicken. Or just do sausage, or just pepperoni or just chicken. These are very versatile.
Wonton Wrappers
Oil for frying
Salt
Italian Sausage
Pepperoni
Mozzarella Cheese
Pepperoncini
Diced Roma Tomatoes
Alfredo- esque Cheese Sauce:
4 Tablespoons of butter
1 tsp minced garlic
3 tablespoons of flour
2 1/2 cups half and half
2 1/2 cups grated parmesan- it melts in better if freshly grated
Heat up oil in frying pan and fry the wonton wrappers for like 15 seconds on each side. Then place them on paper towel. I thought these were still a little greasy- but that could be because I had a killer headache that day and so it made me feel awful- so maybe pat them with the paper towel. I also saw somewhere you could spray/ drizzle them in olive oil and bake them....
Cook and chunk up Italian Sausage.
Melt the butter in a medium sauce pan at about medium heat. Add garlic and cook until fragrant- 30 seconds ish. Add the flour and mix it to form a roux. Slowly add half and half and stir often for about 5 minutes until thicker. Take off heat and stir in the grated parmesan. If not using right away put a lid on the pan and let it just hang out.
Now layer the chips, cheese, meats, pepperoncini, cheese sauce, whatever else you want to add (olives, jalapenos, etc) and either throw it in the oven until the cheese melts or put in microwave. I did the oven because I like nachos better that way.
Top with tomatoes and eat!
Yay!
