Poutine just got BETTER!

cheese curds

🥗Healthier: low-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: shredded mozzarella

Low-fat cheese reduces calories while maintaining meltiness.

bacon

🥗Healthier: turkey bacon

💰Cheaper: pork belly

Turkey bacon is lower in fat while still providing a similar flavor.

gravy

🥗Healthier: mushroom gravy

💰Cheaper: homemade gravy

Mushroom gravy is plant-based and can be made from pantry staples.

beer

🥗Healthier: non-alcoholic beer

💰Cheaper: stock or broth

Non-alcoholic beer retains flavor without alcohol.

Set heat to medium on hot plate and place a cast iron skillet on it.

Cook thick cut Cherrywood smoked bacon until crispy, then drain on paper towels.

Let bacon cool, then chop it up and mix with 1 to 2 tablespoons of bacon grease, jalapeno powder, and maple syrup.

Prepare frozen steak fries in an air fryer at 400°F until crispy.

In a skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter, then add 2 to 3 tablespoons of flour and stir to combine.

Pour in 1 1/2 cups of beef stock while stirring to avoid clumps.

Slowly add 1/2 cup of Guinness extra Stout and cook for 5 to 7 minutes until thickened.

Add 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce and 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard, then season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Place cooked fries on a serving platter, top with cheese curds, and pour the beer gravy over them.

Melt some cheese curds in the oven and top the poutine with chopped green onions.
