Notes
Swap waffle fries for steak fries or crinkle cut fries for variety.
For a low-carb version, use roasted cauliflower instead of fries for a healthy loaded fries option.
Add diced tomatoes, jalapeños, or avocado for extra toppings and more loaded fries ideas.
Make it a full meal by pairing it with a soup or adding a side salad.
For a beefy twist, substitute for seasoned ground beef instead of chicken.
