Tortilla chips with sage pork sausage, pepperoni, jalapeno, shallot, black olives, and nacho cheese sauce.

This recipe for sausage and pepperoni nacho supreme is a hearty, savory twist on classic nachos, featuring a rich blend of Jimmy Dean sage pork sausage and sliced pepperoni as its base. This meaty mixture is cooked with finely diced jalapeño and shallot, adding a burst of flavor and a hint of heat. The nachos are then generously smothered in a homemade, creamy nacho cheese sauce made from a decadent mix of American cheese, cream cheese, butter, heavy cream, whole milk, and a dash of hot sauce for an extra kick. This indulgent sauce is poured over a bed of crunchy tortilla chips, layered with the savory meat topping, and finally garnished with fresh chopped green onions and sliced black olives for a contrasting freshness and a touch of elegance.
