Instructions
Instructions
- Decide whether you will use a baking sheet (for broiling) or a 9x13 casserole dish (for baking). If using a baking sheet, preheat your oven's broiler. If using a 9x13 casserole dish, preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Lightly spray a 9x13 casserole dish or prepare a baking sheet so chips will not stick.
- Spread the entire 1 Family Size Bag of Tortilla Chips in an even layer across the bottom of the prepared dish or sheet.
- Spoon and spread the 6 oz Pizza Sauce evenly over the chips, then add the ¾ Cups Cheese Sauce across the chips in spoonfuls so it is distributed.
- Scatter the 8 oz Pepperonis evenly over the sauces, then top with the 8 oz Shredded Cheese so the cheese covers the pepperonis and sauces as evenly as possible.
- Cook according to your chosen pan: if using a baking sheet, place under the broiler and heat 1–2 minutes, watching closely so the cheese does not burn; if using the 9x13 casserole dish, bake at 350°F for about 10 minutes, until everything is heated through and the cheese is melted.
- Remove from the oven, let sit 1–2 minutes to cool slightly, then serve.
Notes
Notes
Use a crisp, light chip (the inexpensive Santitoes work well, or you choose!).
A pizza sauce straight out of the jar is fine. Feel free to make your own as well.
Add other toppings you like on pizza such as hamburger, sausage, vegetables, olives…. Get creative!
It’s important to use a saucy already melted cheese PLUS shredded cheese. The sauce cheese is a wonderful surprise and what tastes SO GOOOD!
The shredded cheese gives these a good bite plus helps hold the goodies onto the chips, so use it too! Use any flavorful, hearty cheese that you enjoy and that melts well under the broiler.
