Hey there, foodies! Let me tell you about my absolute favorite afternoon pick-me-up that’ll make your taste buds dance – my Epic Loaded Pizza Fries! 🍕🍟 Trust me, once you try this bad boy, you’ll be wondering where it’s been all your life.
So picture this: crispy, golden fries smothered in melted mozzarella, topped with all your favorite pizza toppings. I mean, who doesn’t love a good food mashup? It’s like pizza and fries had a beautiful baby, and honey, it’s perfect!
Here’s what you’ll need:
– 1 bag of frozen fries (or make ’em fresh if you’re feeling fancy!)
– 1½ cups shredded mozzarella
– ½ cup pepperoni, chopped
– ¼ cup black olives
– ½ cup bell peppers, diced
– ½ cup marinara sauce
– Italian seasoning
– Garlic powder
– Optional: red pepper flakes for my spicy queens!
Now, let’s get cooking (and try not to snack on all the pepperoni while we work 😉):
1. Bake those fries according to package directions until they’re super crispy. Girl, don’t skimp on this step – soggy fries are a no-no!
1. While they’re getting golden, chop up your toppings. This is where you can get creative – I won’t judge if you want to add pineapple (okay, maybe a little 😂).
