November 6 is National Nachos Day so here we are sharing some delicious Nacho varieties with you! We had some leftover pepperoni and salami from a recent snack platter and I was trying to decide what to do with them - when I thought of Pizza Nachos and it was an excellent idea! I loved the combination of cheeses and ingredients with a light dusting of seasonings to really bring out the "pizza" flavor. These were really tasty and so easy to tweak to your favorite toppings. The mushrooms worked really well on these.
