Waffle Fry Nachos

Try a different kick from the same-ole, same-ole Nachos with chips.  I baked the waffle fries so they are much healthier.  It's a nice change!

Waffle Fry Nachos

1/2 to 1 whole pkg. Waffle Fry Potatoes - frozen  (depending on how many you are feeding)
2" to 3" thick chunk of Velveeta cheese, cut into cubes 
3 Tbsp. your favorite salsa (I use my homemade fresh salsa see earlier post)
1/4 cup of milk
1/2 tsp. cayenne or hot sauce
1 lb. ground beef
1/4 small onion, finely diced
1 tsp. ground pepper
2 to 3 cups finely shredded lettuce
2 green onions, finely diced for garnish
Sour Cream for garnish

Place frozen Waffle Fry potatoes into preheated oven and bake according to package directions.  You can deep fry these for a crunchier potato, but they aren't as healthy!

Brown ground beef and onion in deep skillet.  Drain grease. 

While ground beef is cooking, into a deep sauce pan add:  2" to 3" thick chunk of Velveeta cheese cut into cubes, 1/4 cup of milk, 3 Tbsp. of salsa, 1/2 tsp. of cayenne or hot sauce and ground pepper.  Heat over low heat, stirring often until cheese is completely melted.

Once the ground beef is drained, add it back into the pan (off the heat) and then pour in the Cheese mixture and mix well together. 

To pull together:  Place waffle fries on a plate and top with the hamburger/cheese mixture.  Add shredded lettuce and sour cream on top for garnish.  Can sprinkle with green onions and additional salsa also.

HINT:  The cheese mixture is also a great dip for parties, snacking, etc.

Enjoy!
