Ingredients
- 32 ounces Great Value Seasoned Fries
- 1 pound ground beef (lean or regular)
- 1 packet Great Value Taco Seasoning Mix
- ¼ cup water
- 8 ounces finely shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread the Great Value Seasoned Fries evenly on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes until crispy, stirring halfway.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook ground beef until fully browned and crumbled (6-8 minutes), then drain excess grease.
- Sprinkle taco seasoning over cooked beef and pour in ¼ cup water. Stir well, reduce heat to medium, and simmer for 5 minutes until sauce thickens.
- Transfer baked fries to a serving plate or oven-safe dish. Spoon seasoned beef evenly over the fries.
- Top generously with shredded cheddar cheese. Let stand 2-3 minutes to melt, or broil 1-2 minutes until cheese is golden.
