A Delicious Twist on Chicken Nachos & Crescent Rolls with Great Value Pasta Sauces
#WeLoveGreatValue
Check out how the Great Value Pasta Sauces help to create these two tasty recipes Cheesy Chicken Nachos and Powerhouse Pizza Rollups!
Pasta sauces don't have to be just for pasta!
You never know what tasty meals you can create when you shake up your regular recipes. For example, when you have delicious pasta sauces available to you like those from Walmart’s Great Value line, why limit yourself by just putting them on pasta?! Try using them to make your nachos bolder or to add burst of flavour to an every-day crescent roll. Overall, try pairing your pasta sauces with something besides, well, pasta.
Cheesy Chicken Nachos
My family and I love nachos, but I admit we always make it the same way because it's easy and quick. I had never thought to add one of those Great Value Pasta Sauces in my cupboard. My family, however, is thrilled that we've tried something new and they love these Cheesy Chicken Nachos with the Great Value Alfredo Pasta Sauce kicking it up a notch in the flavour department!
Even my picky eater of a daughter was all over these nachos. We wish we had tried this sooner; it's so easy to make and so full of flavour. All you need is boneless chicken breasts, Tex Mex seasoning, large bag of tortilla chips (for fun we used, blue corn, red corn and white corn ones), shredded cheddar cheese, Great Value Alfredo Sauce, tomatoes, chopped, green onions, black olives (or choice of olives), sour cream and you're good to go!
You warm up the Alfredo sauce in a pan, add your grilled chicken and while it's still warm add to your tortilla chip, top with cheese and repeat in two or three layers. Once you're ready put it in the microwave for about 90 seconds and/or until the cheese is melted. 
Once the cheese is melted, you can add your favourite toppings. Above you can see some of the ingredients we chose. They were so good we made another, spicier batch with jalapenos for me. You can also top with green onions, which my hubby loves, however, I have to skip them on mine as I have an allergic intolerance to them. Thank goodness I can still do the spicy toppings.

It’s such an easy and flavourful meal, I’m now thinking about which Great Value Pasta Sauce I can try next on the nachos. I think the Great Value Bacon Alfredo Pasta Sauce would be amazing. We don't have to stop at the nachos though, think of all the meals or snacks that you can benefit from more flavour with other pasta sauces.

Turn regular crescent rolls into a tasty meal or snack with the Great Value Four Cheese Pasta Sauce and make these Powerhouse Pizza Rollups. The Great Value Four Cheese Sauce adds a zesty flavour that will make these Pizza Rollups a favourite with your family. You can use the small or large crescent rolls depending on whether you want them to be a meal or an appetizer. The size doesn't matter as these goodies are all about the delicious flavour you get from the sauce, spinach, red peppers and feta cheese inside of them!
These are fun for the whole family to make, from the little kids to the big ones. You will need refrigerated crescent rolls, Great Value Four Cheese Pasta Sauce, fresh baby spinach, medium red pepper, and feta, crumbled. You add your Great Value Pasta Sauce first, spinach, peppers and top with feta and roll them up. Don't worry about making them look perfect; the important thing is they will taste great!
Once you have filled your tray (remember to leave space in between in each roll) put it in the oven and in no time at all you'll have a tasty treat for the whole family.

How easy are those to make? You know the kiddos will love getting “hands-on” when it comes to making these goodies.
I love that these recipes are also very budget friendly. What more could you ask for, tasty meals that won't break the bank.
These recipe ideas are courtesy of Walmart Canada. In addition to the Cheesy Chicken Nachos, Powerhouse Pizza Rollups you can also check out the Shakshouka Goes to Italy recipe. Shakshouka is just a fancy way of saying eggs poached in a tomato sauce, this version is infused with the flavours of Great Value’s Onion & Garlic Pasta Sauce. That sounds delicious!

Easy and delicious.
LOVE Nachos! And I've found that most GV products are just as tasty as name brand. And they often have lower sodium content which is something I look for since I don't enjoy dishes that are overly salty.
Both recipes are great. I would probably try the pizza rollup recipe first.
These sound delish, I love meals where everyone can choose their own toppings. Our family loves types of dinners. No complaints about not liking whats on their plate. Thanks for sharing.
I love how easy these recipes are. They're perfect for an afterschool snack or appetizer.
This dinner sounds delicious. I think I will try it this weekend.
both of these look great love the idea of the crescent rolls
I love the Cheesy Chicken Nachos recipe you have.
This looks sooooo good. I shouldn't be eating this but now am craving some nachos. Thanks for the recipe. I am saving for when we go camping next.
The Chicken Nachos look really tasty. I am going to have to try out the recipe. I never thought about using the sauces like this. What a great idea to spice up dinner 🙂
My two little sisters are going to go absolutely bananas over this! Nachos and fettuccine Alfredo are two of their all-time favorites. This is a fast and creative way of combining the two flavors.
I would not have considered using the jar of sauce. It would certainly speed things up.
These look delicious. I love that you use crescent rolls. Very healthy recipe.
This looks soo good!!! And I get Great Value pasta sauces all the time, I never thought to make something so delish. I want to try it!
Oh, yeah, these look awesome. Even my kids would like these! Adding stuff to my shopping list now!

What a great way to add a bit of a change to some of our go to meals. This would be an easy and inexpensive way to add some variety to everyday meals.
That looks like a very good idea for a party appetizer.
Everything looks amazing! and I don't just use pasta sauce for pasta any more, I have also been digging into my own recipes.

My honey/hubby love Mexican and Tex-Mex food ~ so I'm always on the look out for new ideas and twist on all of our old favorites. This very tempting looking (aka MOUTHWATERING) pic of newfangled Chicken Nacho/ Crescent Rolls. They look great, sound easy to make ~ and because my guy always prefers FLOUR to corn tortillas ~ so I think he will really go for these. Tomorrow night?
These both sound so yummy and easy to put together. My grandchildren love to help with their food and pick their own ingredients to taste. This would be great for crowds as everyone can pick their favorites.
The chicken Nachos look so good. I definitely will give it a try. The chicken the cheese and the Alfredo Sauce Yummy!! I love the colored chips too! So Pretty. I have seen the Blue ones but never any other color. I am always looking for new Chicken meals. Thank You for sharing your recipes..

This is great party food. I don't usually make things like this for just me, so I'll have to save these recipes for a special occasion.
