CHEESY PICKLE NACHOS

Provided by Molly Yeh

Time 35m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2/3 cup whole milk
1/2 cup light lager style beer
1 teaspoon mustard powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
4 ounces Havarti cheese, grated (1 1/2 cups)
2 tablespoons cream cheese
3 jalapeno-Cheddar brats
One 8-ounce bag kettle chips
8 to 10 pickle chips
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
Sriracha, as desired
Ranch dressing, as desired

Steps:

  • For the cheese sauce: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter with the flour. Cook, whisking continuously, until the roux starts to smell toasty but has not taken on any color yet, about 5 minutes. Carefully whisk in the milk until there are no lumps. Add the beer, mustard powder, salt and nutmeg. Bring to a boil, whisking, then cook until thick enough to coat a spoon, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the grated cheese and cream cheese and whisk until melted. Turn the heat to very low and keep warm.
  • For the cheesy pickle nachos: Score the brats and char in a grill pan heated over medium-high for a few minutes on each side or in a saute pan under the broiler. (This can also be done on the grill outside.) Remove from the heat and slice on a hard bias. Set aside and keep warm.
  • Dump the bag of chips into a serving dish. Top with the warm cheese sauce, sliced brats, pickle chips and chopped dill. Drizzle on the sriracha and ranch dressing and serve immediately.

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound fresh hot pork sausage (casings removed), crumbled
4 scallions, white and green parts separated and chopped
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
2 cans (15 ounces each) pinto or black beans, rinsed and drained
3/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth or water
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
12 ounces large tortilla chips (restaurant style)
3 cups grated pepper Jack, sharp cheddar, or a combination
1/4 cup pickled jalapeno slices (optional)
Salsa and sour cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Add sausage and cook, breaking meat apart with a wooden spoon, until sausage is browned and the fat is rendered, about 5 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer sausage to paper towels to drain.
  • Add scallion whites and garlic to skillet; cook until fragrant and soft, about 20 seconds. Stir in beans and cook 1 minute. Add broth, chili powder, cumin, and salt. With a potato masher or the back of a wooden spoon, mash beans until chunky-smooth. Reduce heat to medium and cook until warmed through, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Spread half the tortilla chips in a large ovenproof platter or baking dish. Top with half the beans, half the sausage, half the cheese, and half the jalapenos (if using). Repeat with remaining ingredients. Bake until cheese melts and nachos are hot, about 5 minutes. Serve nachos topped with scallion greens, salsa, and sour cream.
