So I guess the Superbowl is this weekend?
I stopped caring about the NFL when it became apparent that my teams weren’t going all the way.
But I do care about Superbowl food!
I care a lot about Superbowl food.
The amount of time I spend planning my Superbowl menu every year is insane. The amount of money I spend buying ingredients for my Superbowl menu is even more insane.
But anyway, I’ve got a super easy idea to feed a crowd at your Superbowl party!
Nicole made the perfect Superbowl drink: Michelada Marias! They are kicked up Coronas with lime, salt, and hot sauce!
What Are Texas Cheese Fries?
Texas Cheese Fries are served as an appetizer in restaurants like Chili’s and Cheddar’s. They are crispy fries topped with melted cheddar cheese, bacon, green onions, and jalapenos.
Ingredients
- Frozen seasoned French fries – you can use the unseasoned kind if you prefer
- Sharp cheddar cheese
- Bacon
- Green onions
- Pickled jalapenos
- Ranch
How To Make Texas Cheese Fries
- Cook fries. Cook the fries according to package directions. Once crispy, turn the broiler on and move an oven rack closer to the top
- Top fries and broil. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar and bacon on top of the fries. Broil just until cheese in melted, less than 5 minutes
- Add toppings. Sprinkle with green onions and jalapenos
Can You Make Texas Cheese Fries Ahead?
No, I don’t recommend making these ahead of time as you want the fries to be nice and crispy.
However, you can do parts of the prep ahead of time. Like, you can shred the cheese and fry the bacon so that’s a couple less steps you have to do when you are ready to bake the fries.
