Ingredients
Scale
- 20 oz. bag frozen, seasoned waffles fries
- 12 oz. thick cut shredded cheese
- 6 slices thick cut bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 jalapeno, ribs and seeds removed, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons diced red onion
Garnishes
- sour cream
- sliced green onion
- sliced chives
Instructions
- Bake fries according to package directions. Arrange them on a 9×13 baking sheet.
- Add cheese. Bake at 425 degrees for about 5-7 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
- Add bacon, jalapenos. and onions and bake for another 1-2 minutes.
- Add sour cream, green onions, and chives, and enjoy!
Notes
- Bake the bacon along with the fries! Save yourself time and energy and bake your bacon right along with your fries. Your bacon will likely be cooked through before the fries are done which works out perfect so that you have it crumbled and ready to go when it’s time to assemble the fries!
- If you’re serving these loaded fries to kiddos, you can carefully remove the parchment paper from the baking sheet and transfer them fries to a serving platter or right to the table so that no one burns themselves on the warm edges of the baking sheet.
- If you can only find seasoned fries, try using Lawry’s seasoning salt or make a homemade fry seasoning.
- Switch up the toppings to suit your family’s taste or clean out the fridge! Try adding cooked, seasoned ground beef, diced tomatoes, and salsa to make taco fries! You could also add leftover strips of steak to make cheesy steak fries or carne asada fries! Other fun toppings include, sliced olives, diced pickles, and diced avocado. If you’re from the Midwest like me, you might also enjoy ranch dressing or BBQ sauce on your loaded fries! 😉
