BBQ nachos with bacon topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
- 1 package 340 g smoked bacon (12 strips)
- 1 bag (400 g) white corn tortilla chips
- 3 tbsp. l. BBQ Seasoning, see recipe below.
- 2 tbsp sour cream
- 2 tbsp. barbecue sauce
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce
- 2 tbsp. premium flour
- 1 can (340 g) of unsweetened condensed milk (1.5 cups)
- 0.5 cups lightly salted chicken broth
- 0.5 tsp coarse salt
- 1 cup grated soft cheddar
- 1 can (425 g) canned baked beans, heat it up
- 1/4 cup pickled jalapeños, sliced into rings
- 2 tablespoons pimento peppers, chopped
- 2 green onions, chopped
Preparation:
- Place the bacon in a large nonstick skillet and cook over medium-high heat on both sides until crisp, about 16 minutes.
- Transfer the fried bacon to a paper towel-lined plate, leaving the fat in the pan. Once the bacon has cooled slightly, cut it into small pieces. Set aside.
- Place the chips on a large serving platter and sprinkle with barbecue seasoning. Combine the sour cream, barbecue sauce, or hot sauce in a small bowl. Set aside.
BBQ Seasoning:
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon sugar, 1/4 cup paprika, and 1/4 teaspoon onion powder.
- Place the bacon fat in a frying pan over medium-low heat. Add the flour and whisk until a smooth paste forms. Cook until the mixture becomes liquid and slightly darkened, 2-3 minutes. Stirring constantly, pour the unsweetened condensed milk and broth into the flour mixture.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer, whisking occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon, about 8 minutes. Stir in the salt and cheese until melted. Remove from heat. The sauce will continue to thicken.
- Place the warm beans on top of the chips. Sprinkle the beans with half of the chopped bacon. Drizzle generously with the warm cheese sauce.
- Sprinkle with jalapeño, pimento, remaining bacon, and green onions. Drizzle with barbecue sour cream and serve immediately.
