🔥 Cape Breton Forgehouse Poutine-ish

"We couldn't get the curds, so we made it taste better." 😄

This is a hearty Cape Breton-inspired mashup of poutine and loaded fries, featuring your FORGE BBQ Seasoning.

Serves 4-6

Ingredients

For the Fries

1 bag (900 g to 1 kg) frozen seasoned fries

Or 6 large potatoes cut into fries

For the Beef

1 lb lean ground beef

1 medium onion, diced

1 tbsp Cape Breton FORGE BBQ Seasoning

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tbsp butter (optional)

For the Cheese

2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

1 cup shredded old cheddar cheese

For the Gravy

2 cups beef gravy

1 tsp Cape Breton FORGE BBQ Seasoning

For Finishing

1 tbsp Cape Breton FORGE BBQ Seasoning

Chopped green onions (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Cook the Fries

Bake fries according to package directions until crispy.

Don't pull them early. We want crispy fries that can stand up to gravy.

Step 2: Make the Beef

While fries cook:

Brown the ground beef in a large skillet.

Add diced onion.

Cook until onions soften.

Drain excess fat.

Stir in:

1 tbsp FORGE BBQ Seasoning

Garlic powder

Cook for another 2 minutes.

Step 3: Prepare the Gravy

Heat beef gravy in a saucepan.

Stir in:

1 tsp FORGE BBQ Seasoning

Simmer for 2-3 minutes.

Step 4: Build the Forgehouse Poutine-ish

In a 9x13 baking dish:

Spread cooked fries evenly.

Sprinkle half the mozzarella.

Add beef and onion mixture.

Pour gravy evenly over everything.

Top with remaining mozzarella.

Finish with shredded cheddar.

Step 5: Bake

Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 10-15 minutes.

Broil for 1-2 minutes if you want the cheese golden and bubbly.

Step 6: The Tonya Touch

As soon as it comes out of the oven:

Sprinkle with:

1 tbsp FORGE BBQ Seasoning

Because...

"If your fries come out of the oven and you don't season them...

We need to talk."
