Ingredients
Ingredients:
- 22 ounces waffle fries baked or cooked per package instructions
- 2 cups Slow Cooker Roast shredded, I used this recipe
- 1-2 cups brown gravy recipe below
- 2 cups Cheddar Colby cheese blend shredded
- 3 Tablespoons green onions You could also use diced yellow or red onions
Brown Gravy
- 4 Tablespoon Crisco shortening you can also add fat from the roast
- 4 Tablespoon self-rising flour
- 2 cups liquid from roast beef stock, or water
Instructions
- Preheat oven per instructions on the bag of fries. Bake fries according to package.
- While the fries are cooking, place roast in foil and heat in the oven.
- Next, prepare the gravy.
For Gravy
- Heat a medium-size skillet on medium-high heat. Add shortening (or fat) to the skillet and allow it to melt. Whisk in the flour and cook for 2 minutes until flour is lightly browned. Add salt and pepper (I use about 1/4 tsp each, but add to your liking) then add liquid from the roast or beef stock. (Obviously, the roast broth or beef stock will add more flavor.) Whisk and cook until the gravy begins to get thick.
- Serve immediately over Roast and Potato Nachos.
Build the nachos
- Layer fries, roast, gravy, cheese, then optional toppings. Place in the oven until cheese melts. Serve immediately.
- Optional for serving: sautéed green or red peppers, caramelized onions, salt and pepper to taste
