Here’s how to make Tex-Cajun Fries:


Ingredients:

  • 32 oz. bag of Ore-Ida Crispy Fast Food Fries
  • (2) 15 oz. jars of Tostitos Queso Blanco Dip
  • 12 oz. of roast beef, sliced into bite-sized strips
  • 1 packet McCormick Brown Gravy Mix
  • Creole seasoning

  4. Sprinkle half of the sliced roast beef on top of the fries and queso. Then, drizzle about 1/4 cup of the brown gravy on top.
  5. Pour the remaining fries on top to create a “mountain,” then smother them with the rest of the cooked queso on top.
  6. Drizzle about 1/2 cup of the brown gravy on top. Sprinkle the remaining sliced roast beef on top.
