If you love nachos, you may want to try this recipe in honor of National BBQ Month.
“I know you’ve had fried tortilla chips with cheese and hot peppers. And I know you’ve had stuffed potato skins,” writes James Beard Award-winning pitmaster Rodney Scott, in “Rodney Scott’s World of BBQ: Every Day Is a Good Day: A Cookbook,” which was published in 2021. “But believe me, pork skin nachos are on another level. These are as rich as can be, but worth every calorie.”

Directions:
1. Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 425 °F.
2. Arrange the pork skins on a sheet pan large enough to hold them and top with the cheddar and the meat. Transfer to the oven for just long enough to melt the cheese, 5 to 7 minutes.
3. Remove from the oven and top with the sauce, bacon bits, scallions, and sour cream. Serve hot.

Directions:
In a medium saucepan, combine the ketchup, vinegar, both sugars, the hot sauce, black pepper, salt, mustard powder, pepper flakes and chili powder. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent the sauce from sticking to the bottom of the pan, until the sugars are melted, and the sauce is smooth, about 10 minutes. Allow the sauce to cool at room temperature and refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
