Awesome Recipe ⤑ Awesome Irish Nachos

This is a fun version of nachos, using waffle fries instead of tortilla chips. Every year at our annual St. Patrick's Day party, this is the first appetizer to go!

• 1 (14 ounce) package frozen waffle fries
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 (1 ounce) package taco seasoning
• 1 (8 ounce) package shredded Mexican cheese blend
