Maple Glazed Bacon Cheeseburger Poutine

Ingredients :

• 1 lb frozen French fries
• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 cup cheese curds or shredded mozzarella
• 6 slices maple-glazed bacon, cooked and chopped
• 1 cup hot beef gravy
• ½ cup maple syrup (for glazing the bacon)

Instructions : 

1. Bake the French fries according to the package instructions until crispy.
2. While the fries bake, cook the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat, seasoning with salt and pepper. Drain excess fat.
3. Glaze the cooked bacon with maple syrup by brushing it on both sides and letting it caramelize for a few minutes in a hot skillet.
4. Assemble the poutine: place the fries on a serving platter, sprinkle cheese curds on top, and layer on the ground beef and maple-glazed bacon.
   Pour hot beef gravy over the top, letting it melt the cheese slightly.
