Expert Tips

  • If you can't find bulk sausage, you can buy Italian sausages and take meat out of the casings.
  • Pump up the flavour of these colourful nachos by using bulk chorizo sausage instead of the bulk pork sausage. Or try Monterey Jack cheese with jalapeno peppers instead of the Co-Jack.
  • Serve these nifty nachos with sour cream and your favourite salsa.
