QUESO LOADED FRIES RECIPES

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 415 degrees. 2. In a large bowl mix together potatoes, jalapenos, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika or cayenne, salt, and pepper. 3. Lay on a greased baking sheet and bake for 20-30 minutes, turning the fries over every 8-10 minutes.
• 4. While the fries are baking, in a medium saucepan heat the heavy cream at medium heat. 5. Add the Velveeta cheese and cook until melted, stirring frequently. (add more heavy cream if needed)
• Top fries with cheese sauce, bacon, parsley, salt, and pepper! Serve with ranch dressing!

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).
• Spread the fries in an even layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 20–25 minutes, until crispy.
• Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the red and green bell pepper and sauté for 4 minutes, or until softened and starting to blister. Add the ground beef and taco seasoning and cook for 4 minutes, breaking up the beef into small pieces, until browned and cooked through. Remove the pan from the heat. Add the Pace® Chunky Salsa and stir until fully incorporated.
• Reduce the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C).
• In a 12-inch cast iron skillet, arrange half of the waffle fries in an even layer. Spoon half of the beef mixture over the fries, then drizzle with half of the Pace® Queso Blanco and sprinkle with ¼ cup shredded cheese. Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make another layer.
• Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 20 minutes, until the cheese is melted, light brown, and crispy on the top.
• Remove the skillet from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes. Garnish the nachos with the avocado and cilantro.
• Enjoy!
