I’ve always had a thing for nachos. Saucy nachos, loaded nachos, all kinds of nachos. These barbecue rib nachos- let’s just say they totally fit my nacho thing.

I know it sounds weird to say that nachos hold a special place in my heart, but they do. I grew up as the oldest of 3 siblings. As the oldest, I was the chief maker of snacks and easy lunches and dinners. My specialties growing up: doctored scrambled eggs, doctored boxed mac n cheese, microwave french fries, and nachos. We’d carry my resulting delicacies downstairs and eat them in front of the tv where we watched Rugrats or classic 90s Disney movies.

Now being that I started making nachos to share with my siblings at the ripe old age of about 9, my earliest nachos were kind of simple. Basically I nuked nacho cheese flavored chips and cheddar cheese and called the resulting snack nachos.

They were delicious. Over 20 years later and my sister and brother still talk about them and how awesome they are. And they were awesome in their simplicity. Kind of like these barbecue rib nachos are.

These nachos aren’t like other nachos that are loaded with lots of stuff. Nope, they don’t need it. Why? Because the slow cooked Smithfield Extra Tender Back Ribs in a sweet and spicy homemade barbecue sauce is just so good. SO GOOD. While you could load the nachos up with all the fixings, the chips, cheese, and meat are enough to make me totally happy.
