Cheesy Bacon Burger Fries is a healthier “junk” food at it’s best ! Fries, bacon burger covered in gooey cheese – this is to die for delicious !

This is junk food made better at home ! Tastier and healthier Cheesy Bacon Burger Fries will quickly become a family favorite. Especially because you can have dinner (or lunch) ready in around half an hour.

I am not one for making complicated meals to start with, and on a Friday night or Saturday – when we either have a late lunch or an early dinner, I am really not in the mood for cooking.

So yes, I go for the easier, quicker meals, which we might normally would have ordered burgers.

Since we decided to cut out placing orders for take-outs, I am always on the look out for something similar.

But making burgers at home could be just as much work as cooking up a big meal – you know, meat, potatoes, vegetables or the kind of meal you would normally serve during the week.

What is it anyhow about weekend food that must be different ? I think during the week, we cook pastas, casseroles and that type of thing because of convenience. And maybe even because most of us are a little brain-dead during the week.

But come weekends, and we all have some extra energy, feel like eating different foods and just be more laid back, relaxed.

Do not get me wrong, this cheesy Bacon Burger Fries dish is most definitely suitable for any day of the week or weekend, to me it just screams weekend !

This meal is ready to be served in under 30 minutes .I get the Fries going in the oven, start with the Meat and whilst that is cooking, I quickly chop up the Onion and Lettuce.

As soon as the Fries are done, arrange in a serving dish and drizzle over the Cheese Sauce.

I prefer homemade Cheese Sauce, but store-bought would work just fine (heated of course). When served with a burger bun and salads on the side you can easily feed 6 adults.

And if you serve the Fries on it’s own, I would say at least 4 servings, no less.
