Ultimate Cheesy Loaded Beef Fries

Cook the French fries according to the package instructions until crispy.
For homemade fries, slice potatoes into thin strips, toss with olive oil, and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway.
2. Cook the Beef
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Add chopped onion and garlic, cooking until soft and fragrant.
Add ground beef, breaking it apart as it browns.
Season with salt, black pepper, chili powder, paprika, and cumin.
If needed, add beef broth or water and let it simmer for 5 minutes.
3. Melt the Cheese
Sprinkle shredded cheese over the cooked fries while they’re still hot.
Let it melt naturally, or place them under the broiler for 1-2 minutes until bubbly.
4. Assemble the Loaded Fries
Spoon the seasoned beef over the cheesy fries.
Drizzle with sour cream and sprinkle diced tomatoes, green onions, and jalapeños (if using).
Top with crispy bacon bits for extra crunch.
5. Serve & Enjoy!
Serve immediately while the cheese is gooey and warm. Enjoy with a side of ranch or extra hot sauce for a flavor boost.
