Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • ½ cup white onion diced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup tomato sauce
  • 1 tbsp yellow mustard
  • ¼ cup ketchup
  • 2 tbsp BBQ sauce
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 9 oz bag tortilla chips
  • cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup dill pickle slices roughly chopped
  • Sour cream for serving
  • Green onion sliced for garnish

Instructions

  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 3–5 minutes, until softened.
  • Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up as it browns, for 7–10 minutes. Drain off any excess grease if needed.
  • Stir in the tomato sauce, mustard, ketchup, BBQ sauce, and salt. Lower the heat and let it simmer for 3–5 minutes, until thickened.
  • Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a 9×13-inch baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Spread the tortilla chips out in an even layer, then spoon the sloppy joe mixture over the top.
  • Sprinkle the shredded cheddar evenly over everything.
  • Bake uncovered for 7–10 minutes, just until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Remove from the oven and finish with chopped pickles, sour cream, and green onions. Serve right away and dig in.
