Mighty Meaty Nachos with Neely's BBQ Sauce & Seasoning

Did you know that yesterday was NATIONAL CHIP and DIP DAY ? Yep, March 23rd, every year!

I guess I should of posted this ULTIMATE Chip & Dip recipe yesterday! But, better late then never!

One of my favorite pictures of my daughters and I (Summer 2008)
(although the one on the left hates the double chin)

These nachos are the ULTIMATE treat! It's just perfect for one of those days when you want to indulge yourself in pure goodness. My daughters and I LOVE this special nacho recipe, we even have it for dinner (often), my husband, although he LOVES it, does NOT think it's enough for dinner... (but WE DO)! Good thing we get to have dinner many nights without him (life of an oil work'in fireman). I first saw this recipe for the Neely's BBQ Sauce and BBQ Seasoning watching them on Food Network and I just knew I had to try it and then we got the wild idea to pair up the Neely's BBQ Sauce with our Mighty Meaty Nacho Sauce that we just LOVE and WOW... the combination of these recipes is OUT OF THIS WORLD!



Neely's BBQ Sauce

from the Neely's on Food Network

2 cups ketchup

1 cup water

1/2 cup apple cider vinegar

5 tbsp brown sugar

5 tbsp sugar

1/2 tbsp fresh ground pepper

1/2 tbsp onion powder

1/2 tbsp ground mustard

1 tbsp lemon juice

1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

In a large saucepan, combine all ingredients and mix well. Bring mixture to boil, reduce heat to simmer. Cooked uncovered, stirring frequently every 15 minutes, for 1 hour and 15 minutes.

Barbecue Seasoning

from the Neely's on Food Network

3/4 cup white sugar

1-1/2 cups paprika

Mighty Meaty Nachos

32 oz Velveeta Cheese

1 can Rotel tomatoes and green chillies

1 lb Sausage, browned and drained

1 lb hamburger, browned and drained

1 small jar of salsa

1 can cream of mushroom soup small, fajita size flour tortillas (or just use chips if don't want to make fresh) 3-4 cups vegetable oil kosher salt 

Melt Velveeta cheese on stove top, then add in Rotel, meat, salsa and soup. Mix together. Keep warm in crock-pot.

I know all these recipes sound like alot to make, but we make up the BBQ Sauce and have it in the refrigerator at all times (works great on meatballs and other things too). We made up the BBQ Seasoning once and have never had to make it again. So, we just through together the cheese dip and there you have it. The ULTIMATE Mighty Meaty Nachos with the Neely's BBQ Sauce and Seasoning.
