“I’m always asked to make this for our Christmas and Easter family gatherings.
These Cheesesteak Taco Fries are a delightful fusion of two comfort food favorites. Crispy waffle fries are loaded with seasoned ground beef, melted cheese, and fresh toppings, creating a satisfying and flavorful dish perfect for a casual meal or game-day snack.
Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Frozen waffle fries | 1 Bag |
| Ground beef | 1 lb |
| Onion, chopped | 1 |
| Taco seasoning packet | 1 |
| Shredded cheddar jack cheese | 2 C |
| Green onions, chopped | ½ C |
| Tomato, diced | 1 |
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit (232 degrees Celsius).
- Cook the waffle fries: Arrange the frozen waffle fries in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Cook the ground beef and onion: While the fries are baking, cook the ground beef and chopped onion in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook until the ground beef is browned and the onions are softened. Drain any excess grease.
- Add taco seasoning: Reduce the heat to low and stir in the taco seasoning packet. Cook for a few more minutes, stirring to combine the flavors.
- Assemble the fries: Once the fries are crispy, remove them from the oven. Top the fries evenly with the seasoned ground beef mixture.
- Add cheese and bake: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar jack cheese over the beef. Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for another 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Add toppings and serve: Remove the loaded fries from the oven. Top with chopped green onions and diced tomatoes. Serve immediately and enjoy!
