Sloppy Joe Fries

Ingredients:

• 1 bag (about 24 oz) frozen French fries
• 2 Velveeta cheese pouches (or about 2 cups of your favorite cheese sauce)
• 2 lbs ground beef
• 2 cans (15 oz each) Manwich Original Sloppy Joe Sauce
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 cup sour cream, for garnish
• Chopped green onions, for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Fries:
   • Preheat your oven and cook the French fries according to the package instructions until they are golden and crispy.
2. Prepare the Cheese Sauce:
   • While the fries are baking, heat the Velveeta cheese pouches in a saucepan over low heat, stirring frequently until the cheese is smooth and creamy. If you prefer a homemade cheese sauce, you can make one by melting butter in a saucepan, adding flour to make a roux, and then whisking in milk and cheese until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
3. Prepare the Sloppy Joe Mix:
   • In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat. Break it up into small pieces as it cooks. Drain any excess grease.
   • Add the Manwich Original Sloppy Joe Sauce to the cooked ground beef. Stir well to combine and let it simmer for a few minutes until the flavors meld together. Season with salt and pepper if needed.
4. Assemble the Sloppy Joe Fries:
   • Once the fries are done, remove them from the oven. Arrange the hot fries on a large serving platter or individual plates.
   • Pour the warm cheese sauce generously over the fries, ensuring each fry is coated in creamy goodness.
   • Spoon the hot Sloppy Joe mixture evenly over the cheesy fries, making sure each fry gets a generous helping of the flavorful meat sauce.
5. Bake and Garnish:
   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
   • Place the assembled fries in the oven and bake for 10 minutes. This helps to meld all the flavors together and keeps everything warm.
6. Serve:
   • Remove the fries from the oven and let them cool for a minute or two.
   • Drizzle dollops of sour cream over the top, and sprinkle with chopped green onions if desired.
7. Enjoy!
   • Grab a fork and dig into the layers of crispy fries, cheesy goodness, savory Sloppy Joe mix, and creamy sour cream. Enjoy your indulgent and delicious Sloppy Joe Fries Supreme!
