frozen has never been so fancy

Not too long ago I was in the middle of a crazy week and The Hubby wanted to grill. I always loves it when he grills but I didn’t have any sides for the burgers. And then I looked in the freezer and saw the answer…frozen fries.

Now it’s time to make them fancy

Me being me I can’t just bake them as directed on the package, I have to fancy them up a bit. So how do you make frozen fries fancy, you ask? It really is quite simple…just a few shakes here and there and there you go…Fancy Fries.

First spread them out onto a baking sheet and spray (or drizzle) some olive oil over them. Then comes the fun, you sprinkle a little seasoning salt, a little brown sugar and some chili powder. The combo of the saltiness from the season salt and the sweet from the sugar and smoke (and heat) from the chili powder combine to create the perfect seasoning for some fancy fries.

When they came out of the oven they were golden brown, crispy and seasoned perfectly, and even better The Hubby didn’t even know they were frozen, he thought I made them from scratch.

Fancy fries deserve a Fancy sauce

I love to dip fries in yummy sauces. The Hubby is good with just ketchup, but not me. I like to mix a few things together to make a yummy sauce.

One of my favorite dipping sauces is this quick Honey BBQ sauce. It is made with stuff you already have on hand, and can be personalized to your own taste in no time at all.

For me I like a creamy sauce that has a little kick, and this sauce has all that and more. I started with some bottled BBQ sauce (or you can use this Homemade BBQ sauce) and then some mayo, honey and mustard and then a few spices.

There is one one little surprise for this sauce…fresh lime juice. I just love the bit of acidity it adds. It will be the one thing that people can’t figure out, and I love that ALWAYS!
