Ingredients
Fries Base
- 1 lb frozen French fries
Gravy & Toppings
- 1 cup prepared brown gravy
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 tsp Cajun seasoning
- 0.25 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tbsp sliced green onions
Instructions
- Cook the Fries: Preheat your oven according to the fries package instructions. Spread the frozen French fries evenly on a baking sheet and bake them until they are golden and crispy, usually about 20 minutes.
- Heat the Gravy: While fries are baking, warm the prepared brown gravy in a saucepan over medium heat until it is hot and simmering slightly, stirring occasionally.
- Assemble the Dish: Once the fries are cooked, transfer them to a serving bowl or plate. Pour the hot brown gravy evenly over the fries.
- Add Cheese: Immediately sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the hot gravy so it starts to melt.
- Season and Garnish: Sprinkle Cajun seasoning and garlic powder over the top to add depth of flavor. Finally, garnish with sliced green onions for a fresh, vibrant finish. Serve immediately.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, you can air fry the fries instead of oven baking.
- Use homemade brown gravy for a richer, more authentic flavor.
- Adjust Cajun seasoning to taste depending on spice preference.
- This dish is best eaten immediately to enjoy the melted cheese texture.
- Optional: Add cooked sausage or bacon bits for a heartier meal.
