These steak and cheese nachos have everything I love in a steak and cheese sub; tender shaved steak, sauteed onions, pepper, garlic and jalapenos. And let's not forget the cheese!

Preparing game day food when you're older is a little different than when you're younger.
Now that I'm older and perhaps wiser, I like layers of flavor and lots of it.
These cheesesteak nachos have a little punch from the jalapenos but the creaminess of the cheese sauce really balances it all out.

I have opted to use the mozzarella and provolone cheese combination because those are the cheeses I use in a steak and cheese sub but you can use a cheddar blend, fontina would be nice or any cheese you like!
These hearty steak nachos are the perfect Superbowl food but they are filling enough to serve up for dinner! Pair it with a salad and there you go. It's fun to splurge calories on dinner every now and then!
So what goes into Cheese Steak Nachos?
I prefer a more rustic approach and keep the peppers and onions in long strips but if you prefer to dice them small, that's good too.Â
It sort of depends on how messy you want to get while eating.Â
We embrace it over here.
Start off by cooking up your steak, onions, peppers, garlic and jalapenos.Â
I wanted some heat to my nachos so I incorporated the seeds from the jalapenos.Â
If you aren't into spice, just omit the jalapeno seeds.
Once all that is cooked up, top your tortilla chips with it and then make the cheese sauce.
Oh man, the cheese sauce! You'll see what I mean.
See, I told you, THAT cheese sauce!
Okay so now just add the cheese sauce all over everything.Â
It will be stringy and that's okay. There is mozzarella in there, it happens. Don't worry, it will be fine!Â
Pop it in the oven for about 10 minutes and you're good to go!
In addition to the shaved steak, onions, peppers and cheese, mushrooms would be a great addition!

Yum. These look amazing. I love a new twist to traditional ideas. Can't wait to try these. (FYI Turning 40 wasn't so bad. I like to think that we are like a fine wine, we only get better with age).

Thanks Michelle. I'm not too worried about 40. I think it was weirder for me when my husband turned 40. I was like "whoa, I'm married to a 40 year old man". ha!
