Preheat the oven and cook store bought steak fries until extra crispy.

Once fries are hot, season them with salt and pepper.

Pile the fries together in the middle of the tray.

Cover the fries with cheese curd or shredded white sharp cheddar cheese.

Return the fries to the oven to melt the cheese.

In a pan, make a roux with equal amounts of melted butter and flour.

Add black pepper to the roux for seasoning.

To the roux, add chicken stock and then double the amount of beef stock.

Prepare a slurry with water and corn starch as a second thickening agent.

Whisk the corn starch slurry into the chicken and beef stock mixture to thicken the gravy.

Let the gravy thicken up before serving.

Serve the fries topped with melted cheese and the thickened gravy.
