If I had to pick one food to have for the rest of my life, it would be fries. Fries for breakfast, lunch and dinner; that’s not an imposition, it’s a dream!

I’m always playing around with different ways to dress up fries, so when our pals at McCain invited us to participate in the #Modifry campaign I was very excited for the opportunity to combine my two passions, fries and entertaining.

IMG_1748I couldn’t pick just one, so I decided to try out two different recipes, both easy and flavourful. For a single serving veggie option, I drizzled Superfries 5 Minutes Shoestring with white truffle oil and tossed in freshly grated parmesan cheese before stuffing into mini mason jars lined with waxed bakery paper. Yummy, decadent, and made in under 10 minutes – amazing, right?
IMG_1753 For the second option, I decided to try something a little more complicated and playful! Taking inspiration from my second favourite indulgence, I created the Deconstructed Cheeseburger #Modifry with all my favourite ingredients.

Here’s what you’ll need:

  • ¾ pound extra lean ground beef
  • seasoning spices of your choice
  • 6 slices of double smoked bacon
  • 1 tub of MacLaren’s Imperial Cheese (feel free to substitute with your cheese of choice, but I like the sharpness of this guy)
  • 1 tomato
  • ¼ cup whole milk
Customary bacon action shot.

Directions:

  1. Turn oven to 450 degrees.
  2. In a large skilled, on medium heat, cook the ground beef until lightly browned (add salt, pepper, seasoning salt – whatever your heart desires)
  3. In a medium sized pot, on medium high heat, fry up 6 strips of bacon until just crispy. Drain on paper towel/dab off extra oil and cut/tear/crumble.
  4. Dice your tomato
  5. Time to put in your Superfries 5 Minutes Shoestring into the oven!
  6. In a small sauce pan, on low heat, combine MacLaren’s Imperial Cheese with whole milk, stirring frequently, until melted. Be very careful not to burn.
  7. ENJOY! We sure did.
