1 finely diced jalapeno
1 finely diced shallot
1/4 cup fresh chopped green onions
2.25 ounce can of sliced black olives
Nacho Cheese Sauce

Instructions
Prepare the Meat Topping
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage, pepperoni, jalapeño, and shallot together for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sausage is browned and fully cooked. Remove from heat and set aside.
Make the Nacho Cheese Sauce
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine American cheese, cream cheese, butter, milk, cream, and hot sauce. Stir occasionally until the cheese melts and the sauce is smooth and creamy. If too thick, adjust with a splash of milk or cream. Remove from heat.
Assemble the Nachos
Spread tortilla chips evenly over a serving platter or large dish. Spoon the meat mixture evenly over the chips. Drizzle the warm nacho cheese sauce generously over the top. Garnish with chopped green onions and black olives.
