Corned Beef Nachos with Cheesy Spinach Sauce

It’s The Big Game Day! With a ton of game day appetizers, it’s easy to get overwhelmed with a ton of ideas. Like most folks, the food served up on game day is just as important as the Big Game. Amiright? I have put together this incredibly delicious Corned Beef Nachos + Cheesy Spinach Sauce, and I must say it made me smack my lips and wiggle my hips! Sorry. I didn’t mean to put that image in your head. My apologies.

Here is what you are going to need. When it comes to nachos the bigger the tortilla chips the better, so grab a big bag of premium white corn tortilla chips. I also used lots of veggies like fresh red onions, bell peppers, and caramelized sweet onions, but the bell of this nacho ball is the Mezzetta Deli-Sliced Tamed Jalapeño Peppers, Mezzetta Imported Greek Golden Peperoncini, and Mezzetta Pitted Greek Kalamata Olives! 

Yes, what do you know about putting olives on nachos? You better ask somebody! The Mezzetta Pitted Greek Kalamata Olives are not just visually stunning, but they have a fresh, delicious taste. 

We love  Mezzetta products because of their quality. Each jar is packed with care and when you open a Mezzetta jar you can see the freshness of the ingredients, the peppers and olives have great flavor, the texture is firm and not mushy. Mezzetta offers products fit for any table, and when you start with great hand selected products it’s easy to create something delicious no matter what your cooking. 

These nachos are also unique because I used tons of warm corned beef, along with a variety of peppers, stepping the game WAY up on your average nacho dish.
