We love watching football at our house. We don’t always cheer for the same team, but that’s ok…as long as my team wins..ha! Caleb is already getting in on the action too. Every time he sees a football game on TV he yells ball. He also throws his hands up in the air, making the touchdown sign, and yells Ta-down. He doesn’t quite have the entire word mastered yet:)
Football and good food go hand in hand. I recently saw Dax’s recipe for Pizza Nachos on Tasty Kitchen and knew they would be perfect for game day. Plus, pizza and nachos are two of Josh’s favorite foods. I knew I would score bonus points for making Pizza Nachos. Pizza and nachos combined in one recipe? Genius!
The Pizza Nachos are really easy to make and are loaded with goodness. I piled chips into a cast iron skillet and topped them with a garlic cream sauce, pepperoni, onion, green pepper, and black olives. Of course, I finished them off with lots and lots of cheese! I popped them in the oven until the cheese was melted and pulled them out for a killer halftime snack! Josh LOVED the nachos. He was in heaven.
I used Josh’s favorite pizza toppings, but if you aren’t a pepperoni or olive fan, use your favorite pizza toppings. I am going to make a veggie version next time with artichokes, mushrooms, and roasted red peppers. Mmmmm! And if you are having friends over to watch the big game, put a bunch of toppings out and let them make their own pizza nachos. A pizza nacho bar sounds fun to me!
Enjoy Pizza Nachos while you watch football this weekend. They are the ultimate game day snack! For the recipe and step-by-step photos, visit Tasty Kitchen.
Now this is my idea of a fun start to Friday! Pizza + Nachos in one…love the way you think!
I’ll hang out for a football game if I get to eat pizza nachos! Yumm… best of both worlds!
Love pizza and nachos…. fantastic!
Yum! That looks delicious. I’m going to make this for my husband this weekend instead of our traditional pizza night. 🙂
Pizza Nachos are on my Foodie Bucket List! I know my Husband would love them!! Your’s look fantastic!!! Yummy! Have a great weekend!
I want these soooo badly! What an awesome dinner idea!
Loved this idea for a quick weekend snack! Tried to print it out but as usual—Can somebody please tell me if it is just me or does everyone else have a problem with the print feature on the “TastyKitchen” website?
These look rockin! I’m a sucker for a big platter of nachos
yum, yum, yum! is it game day yet?
So. much. fun. I have to make these for game day this weekend – my husband will love me forever. =)
I love you.
awesome Maria- my hubby would freak out for these. Pepperoni Pizza and nacho’s are his two FAVORITE foods!!
What an incredible idea! My husband will be in heaven!

Pizza Nacho Bar – Perfect weekend idea!
These look fantastic, Maria!! Love!
My hubs would love these for the game tomorrow! 🙂
Pizza and nachos….what a perfect combo!!
Ow! I might make some of these this weekend. We’re having friends over for the Eagles game. I can see little Caleb and Kay watching football together and having a blast 🙂
I wish they could watch a game together. We need to make that happen:)
PERFECT party food!
I’m all over this. Saves me a ton of time when I want pizza and don’t want to make dough. I think my husband will love this too!
My hubby will love you for this! He’s all about cheesy nacho dishes 🙂
Great rendition! Love it 🙂
this look so freakin amazing. i am making this. for SURE.
Oh yes, that has “football food” written all over it! Perfect for a lazy weekend day.
Yum, this looks so incredible!! I’ll have to add this to the dinner plan for this weekend!
A pizza nacho bar DOES sound awesome! As does this plate of cheesy nacho heaven. I’d hold the pepperoni but leave the rest!
I made thes tonite and both my husband and I loved them. Pretty easy and very tasty with the sauce. I used sausage chunks instead of peperoni and half/half with almond milk. It had a lot of flavor without extra dairy and calories. I am getting off dairy and the almond milk subsituted just fine. Oh I also added red pepper and diced jalapeno.
I will make this many times with different proteins.
Cade saw these wonderful looking pizza nachos this morning and he is begging for them for the South Carolina vs. Arkansas football game, and it’s at 10 am, must be amazing!
These definitely do look heavenly!!! A garlic cream sauce is quite different for a nacho but sounds absolutely delicious with all of the other pizza type ingredients! YUM!
Maria, this is awesome, I am so sure my husband will looooove this! I am preparing this today, I don’t have pepperoni, so I’ll make a Chicken fajita Pizza Nachos 🙂
Thanks
Always the winning combination, my mouth is watering!
Why have I never thought of this?? Great idea!
Um, how have I never thought of something like this before? These look amazing and so versatile!
These look so good and seem PERFECT for gamedays! I always get nachos at football games, but I also love pizza. I can’t wait to try these out!
This is great for those times you crave pizza, but don’t have the energy/time to do a crust! I love it!
Um, these speak to me in so many ways. Wow, 2 of my favorites in one! Love! 🙂
I want to DEVOUR these! That cream sauce sounds amazing!
I agree with everyone else on these…pizza+nacho combo = perfect game day food!! Thanks for sharing this cool idea.
Maria, this is a BRILLIANT idea!!
Oh my. Fabulous!
Love this idea of turning pizza into nachos! Two of my favorite foods! We are huge football fans in our house too and this would be perfect for gameday!
Oh my, I’m definitely going to have to make these for my husband!
Those sound amazing, and while nobody in our house watches football.. it’d still make for an awesome Friday night snack for a movie! I’m curious though.. how do you make the garlic cream sauce?
How did I miss these before now? They look spectacular!
a must try in bride’s kitchen
