Directions

1. Garlic Cream Sauce: Melt the butter and olive oil in a saucepan. Once the butter is melted, add the minced garlic and stir. After a minute or two, add in the cream and milk. Stir until it comes to a boil. Add salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, and cheese. Stir until sauce has thickened. Once it has thickened, remove from fire and set aside.

2. Nachos: Grab your cast iron skillet and add the tortilla chips. Drizzle the garlic cream sauce all over the chips. Top with the onions, pepperoni, olives, bell pepper, and Colby Jack cheese. The best approached is to layer it between tortilla chips so every bit gets plenty of toppings. Place over the open fire and cover. Cook until the cheese is nice and bubbly and the veggies are warm, about 5-8 minutes.
