How to make Loaded Nacho Fries

Step 1: Fries

Lay the fries on a single layer on a large baking sheet and cook as directed on the package.

Don’t be afraid to cook them for a few extra minutes to ensure they’re firm enough to carry all the cheese and other toppings you’ll add later.

Sprinkle them with the seasoned salt when they’re done.

Step 2: Ground Beef

While the fries are baking, combine the ground beef and diced onion in a skillet. Cook over medium-high heat until no pink remains in the beef. Drain any excess fat.

Add in the taco seasoning and salsa and stir to combine. Heat through.

Step 3: Layers

Sprinkle half the shredded cheese over the fries, then spoon on the meat mixture as evenly as you can. Top with the remaining shredded cheese.

This layering will allow the cheese to melt into the fries and the meat to hold it all together. Place the nacho fries back into the oven to melt the cheese, if necessary.

Step 4: Toppings

Evenly spread the toppings of your choice over the nacho fries to load them up! Serve immediately.
