Instructions

Start by preheating your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. In a small bowl, add the powdered buttermilk, garlic powder, parsley, sugar, salt, and onion powder. Use a whisk or a fork to thoroughly mix the ingredients together until they are evenly distributed and well combined. This flavorful mixture will be used to season the waffle fries.
2 tsp Buttermilk, 1 tsp Garlic Powder, 1 tsp Parsley, 1 tsp Granulated Sugar, 1 tsp Salt, ½ tsp Onion Powder
Pour the frozen waffle fries into a large bowl. Drizzle the fries with olive oil and toss gently to coat them evenly. This will help them crisp up in the oven. Sprinkle the sour cream and onion seasoning mix over the fries and toss again to ensure that the fries are evenly coated with the seasoning. Spread the waffle fries out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. This will prevent them from steaming and ensure they bake evenly. Bake the fries in the preheated oven until they are lightly golden brown and crispy, following the cooking instructions on the package. This usually takes about 20-26 minutes, but keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
22 oz Waffle Fries, 2 Tbsp Olive Oil
While the waffle fries are baking, it's time to cook the bacon. Place the bacon strips in a large skillet in a single layer. Cook over medium-high heat, turning the slices occasionally, until they are evenly browned and crispy. This should take about 10 minutes. Once the bacon is cooked, transfer the slices to a plate lined with paper towels to drain off any excess grease. When the bacon is cool enough to handle, crumble it into small pieces and set it aside.
7 Slices Bacon
Once the waffle fries are golden brown and crispy, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon evenly over the fries. Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Remove the fries from the oven and top with the chopped green onions and a dollop of sour cream. Serve the loaded waffle fries immediately while they are hot and the cheese is gooey.

Storage & Leftovers

Storing Leftover Chili Cheese Dip:

Refrigerate: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days.
Prevent Drying Out: Cover the dip tightly with plastic wrap or use an airtight container with a secure lid to prevent it from drying out.

Reheating Leftovers:

Microwave: Gently reheat the dip in short bursts in the microwave, stirring in between, to avoid overheating and making the cheese stringy.
Stovetop: For gentler reheating, transfer the dip to a small saucepan and warm it over low heat, stirring constantly, until heated through.

Important Notes:

Food Safety: Always ensure that the dip is thoroughly reheated before serving to prevent foodborne illness.
Quality: The flavor and texture may slightly change after refrigeration and reheating.
