Game Day Loaded Nacho Fries will have you ready for the big game! Crispy fries loaded with everything you love about nachos… beef, cheese, and all the fixin’s!

These loaded nacho fries are the answer to my junk food dreams because they’re two of my  favorite snacks, french fries and nachos, combined into one satisfying dish.

I honestly can’t think of anything more exciting than having a plate of crispy french fries in front of me. That was until I had these loaded fries. Perfectly crispy, the fries are taken to the next level because they’re topped with seasoned ground beef, Old El Paso refried beans, and ALL of the fixins you would normally get on nachos.

These burrito bites are the perfect appetizer to get you ready for the big game!

Assembling these fries are a piece of cake! I headed to Walmart to grab my Old El Paso Refried Beans and taco seasoning; I’ve been using Old El Paso for as long as I can remember. After that, I bake some frozen french fries in the oven until they are really crispy. You want to get them crispy as possible so that they can hold up to all the toppings.

Once the fries are crispy they go in the bottom of a skillet, and are topped with the seasoned ground beef, refried beans, and lots of cheese. They go in the oven to bake until the cheese is melted, and then are topped will all of the traditional nacho toppings…. green onions, black olives, corn, pico de gallo, avocado, and jalapenos!

These loaded nacho fries are PERFECT for any game day. Head to Walmart for all your Old El Paso goods, and check out the recipe below!
