Remember those cafeteria sloppy joes? We all loved them, but that soggy bun...not so much. Well, this recipe takes the classic sloppy joe flavors you crave and transforms them into a glorious, cheesy, never-soggy NACHOS creation perfect for feeding a crowd (like your whole school cafeteria!). Say hello to Bartlett's Boomin’ Nachos - a guaranteed crowd pleaser!
6.25 lbs ground beef
6.25 lbs Cheddar cheese, shredded
1/4 cup vegetable oil
6 each medium onion, chopped fine
5 each bell pepper, chopped fine
1 Tbsp. salt
6 each cloves garlic, minced

1. Combine the tomato puree, ketchup, vinegar, Worcestershire, water, hot sauce, chili powder, paprika in a bowl and set aside.
