ITALIAN POUTINE !

Most of you know that Poutine is Quebec's pride and joy in the food world, right?

Perfect gravy over fries with melted curd cheese - it's now world renowned ( or at the very least North American renowned )

This is a twist on that - also popular here in Montreal - Italian Poutine - for lovers of Italian food AND Poutine lol

It's as simple as can be and extremely delicious.

3 ingredients.

You're favorite meat sauce ( I always have home made batches of this in my freezer but store bought is fine if that happens to be your favorite )
Mozzarella cheese
Potatoes ( here again I make home made fries - but frozen are ok to use as well )
I only had a mozzarella mix ( cheddar ) on hand so I used that and it was great !

I deep fry the fries because I find them too dry in the oven for this dish

Once they're done, place them in a large bowl ( this is enough for 2 people )

and start adding your meat sauce a little at a time

and gently ( you don't want to tear the fries apart )  stir until the fries are completely covered and look like a bowl of pasta

Next you place a layer of fries in a aluminum ( and then you google that word  to make sure you're spelling it right because spell check tells you that you are not ! ) and a layer of cheese

and repeat

and place in a preheated oven set at 325 for 10 to 15 minutes

It's decadently delicious and the perfect treat/meal to have in the den watching a hockey game ( I haven't tested it for football or baseball yet but I think it would work ! )

You can't have it very often because it has approximately 1,459,000 calories - but OMG - every now and then 1,459,000 calories are soooo worth it ..................( and you can obviously make a smaller version )

Italian Poutine..................

For all of you who ever wondered what Heaven in a tin pan tasted like.
This would be it.....................

Have a wonderful day everyone !
