Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 4 cups frozen fries
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- Green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
- Spread the frozen fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes, turning once halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
- While the fries are baking, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and break it apart with a wooden spoon, cooking until fully browned and no pink remains.
- Drain excess fat from the ground beef, then return the skillet to the stove.
- Add BBQ sauce, ketchup, and Worcestershire sauce to the ground beef. Stir to combine and simmer for 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the meat.
- Once fries are crispy, remove from oven and transfer to a serving platter.
- Top the hot fries with the prepared Sloppy Joe meat mixture, spreading evenly.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese over the hot meat, allowing it to melt slightly.
- Garnish with chopped green onions for added freshness and color.
- Serve immediately while hot and enjoy your Sloppy Joe BBQ Fries.
Tips
- Choose the Right Fries: For the best texture, opt for thick-cut frozen fries that can hold up to the hearty toppings. Crinkle-cut or steak fries work great!
- Customize the Sauce: Feel free to experiment with different BBQ sauces to find your favorite flavor profile. A smoky or spicy BBQ sauce can add a delicious kick!
- Add Veggies: For a healthier twist, toss in some sautéed bell peppers or onions with the ground beef for added flavor and nutrition.
- Cheese Options: While shredded cheese is a must, consider adding a mix of cheeses like Monterey Jack or pepper jack for an extra layer of flavor.
- Make Ahead: You can prepare the Sloppy Joe mixture ahead of time and store it in the fridge. Just reheat it while the fries bake for a quicker meal.
- Serving Suggestions: Serve with a side of pickles or coleslaw to balance the richness of the fries and beef.
- Garnish for Flair: Don’t skip the green onions! They add a fresh crunch and a pop of color that makes the dish even more appetizing.Enjoy your cooking adventure and dig into this delectable dish that’s sure to become a family favorite!
