Philly Cheeseburger Nachos

I actually came up with this using our leftovers for lunch that I made the night before (Philly Cheesesteak Sloppy Joes) We had used a roll and had sandwiches. But we were out of rolls so I grabbed some chips and viola! Different spin on my fav food!

Adapted from Rachael Ray

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound ground beef
1 softball-sized onion, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
2 tablespoons steak sauce, such as A-1
1 cup beef stock
Salt and ground black pepper
Tortilla chips
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon flour
1 cup milk
1 cup Monterey Jack shredded
Pickled jalapeƱos

In large skillet over medium-high heat add the oil and then brown the ground beef, about 5-6 minutes. Add the onion and green pepper and cook another 3-4 minutes, until the vegetables start to get tender. Stir in the steak sauce and beef stock, season with salt and pepper, bring up to a bubble and cook about 2 minutes.

While the meat is cooking, melt the butter in a medium-size pot over medium-high heat. Stir in the flour and cook about 1 minute. Whisk in milk, bring up to a bubble and let thicken, about 2 minutes. Turn off heat and stir in the cheese.

Layer your chips, spread the meat mixture and douse with cheese and top with jalapeƱos if you like! Yum!!
