Best ways to enjoy it

These Loaded Bacon Cheeseburger Nacho Fries are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven. Serve them in a large bowl or platter for a fun shareable experience. You can also pair them with a side of guacamole or sour cream for dipping. Want to elevate your presentation? Add fresh cilantro or jalapeños for an extra burst of color and flavor.

How to store

To keep your Loaded Bacon Cheeseburger Nacho Fries fresh, store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When it comes to reheating, the oven is your best bet—simply preheat to 350°F (175°C) and warm until heated through. If you’d like to freeze them, it’s best to separate the fries and toppings and store them separately. This way, you can reheat them and assemble them fresh later.

Helpful cooking tips

• Frozen fries are a real time-saver. No need to prepare fresh potatoes; just bake them straight from the freezer!
• Drain excess grease after cooking beef to avoid soggy fries.
• Mix the special sauce ahead of time for quick assembly when the fries are done baking.
