Ingredients

For the Base

1 bag Frozen French Fries A convenient choice that bakes or fries to crispy perfection.

For the Cheese

2 cups Shredded Cheese Cheddar and mozzarella are favorites, but dairy-free options work well.

For the Toppings

1 cup Cooked Bacon Brings a savory crunch; swap with turkey bacon or skip for a vegetarian twist.
1 bunch Green Onions Adds freshness and color; chives are a lovely alternative.

1 cup Sour Cream A tangy counterpart; Greek yogurt or ranch dressing can be substitutes.
2 tablespoons Spicy Sauce Drizzle for a fiery kick.

For Flavor
