Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 pounds Walmart brand seasoned fries
- 1 pound hamburger meat
- 1.5 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
Seasoning:
- 1 packet taco seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat oven and prepare seasoned fries according to package instructions, targeting a crispy golden texture at 425°F.
- While fries roast, heat a skillet over medium flame and thoroughly brown ground beef, ensuring complete cooking and removing any accumulated grease.
- Incorporate taco seasoning into the meat, stirring well to distribute flavors evenly and create a zesty, well-seasoned protein.
- Transfer perfectly cooked fries to a heat-resistant serving plate, arranging them in a uniform layer for optimal cheese melting.
- Distribute the spiced ground beef generously across the fries, creating an even coverage that ensures each bite has meat and potato.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese over the meat and fries, covering the surface to create a complete nacho-style presentation.
- Place the loaded plate into the oven or under the broiler for 2-3 minutes at 450°F, watching carefully to achieve melted, slightly bubbling cheese without burning.
- Remove immediately, let cool for one minute, and serve piping hot for maximum flavor and texture enjoyment.
Notes
- Choose thick-cut fries for maximum crunch and better cheese and meat holding capacity.
- Drain ground beef thoroughly to prevent soggy fries and reduce excess grease.
- Consider using lean ground beef or turkey for a healthier protein option.
- Try different cheese blends like pepper jack or Mexican-style shredded cheese for enhanced flavor complexity.
