Amazing Italian Nachos - Johnny Carinos Copycat

This is an indulgence meal. The chips are made fresh, the cheese sauce is rich...but boy, it sure hits the spot.

 


INGREDIENTS

  • Cooking Time: 10
  • Preparation Time: 10
  • 1 Package wontons (found in the produce section), cut on the diagonal to form triangles
  • 1 package ground pork, cook in a saute pan until browned
  • 1 6-ounce package grilled chicken pieces (sometimes found in the salad section)
  • 1 jar Pepperochini peppers (I got mild)
  • Shaved Parmesan for garnish
  • For the Cheese Sauce:
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/2 cups half-and-half
  • 2 1/2 cups grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, or other good-quality Parmesan

DIRECTIONS

In a heavy, medium saucepan melt the butter over low heat.


Add the garlic and then the flour and stir to combine.


Cook, stirring constantly, for 3 minutes. Increase the heat to medium and whisk in the half-and-half little by little.


Cook until thickened, about 4 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently.


Remove from the heat; add 2 cups of the grated Parmesan.


Season with the salt, pepper and stir until cheese is melted and sauce is smooth. C


over and set aside.


Heat a heavy saucepan or deep fryer to medium. Cook the wontons until light brown.


This only takes a few seconds per side.


Set aside on paper towels to drain.


Pile the wontons on a large serving platter. Drizzle with warm cheese sauce.


Add sausage, chicken and peppers.


Top with shaved Parmesan. EAT IT!
