Loaded Pub Chips Bar Recipes

LOADED PUB CHIPS BAR

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Cover two baking sheets with foil and spray with cooking spray. Set aside.
• Place sliced potatoes in a single layer, covering the foiled baking sheets. You may have enough slices for a third baking sheet; if so, set those aside and bake them according to the same instructions after the first set are baked.
• Bake at 425 degrees for about 15-18 minutes or until potatoes are nice and crispy without being burnt. I like to rotate pans halfway through the baking time for even baking.
• While potatoes are baking, prepare a large skillet with olive oil over medium-high heat. Add garlic, ground beef, and mushrooms. Stir and cook until the meat is fully cooked, which takes about 6-8 minutes. Add taco seasoning once meat is cooked, and stir to coat the blended mixture evenly. Remove from heat and place in a bowl until you're ready to serve.
• To prepare the Loaded Pub Chips bar, place the crispy potatoes in a serving platter or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place your choice of fixings in separate bowls. I like to gather them together in one place, like on a rimmed baking sheet. Serve immediately.

FULLY LOADED BARS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F (if using dark or nonstick pan, heat oven to 325°F). Grease 13x9-inch pan with shortening or spray with cooking spray.
• In large bowl, beat brown sugar, butter and egg with electric mixer on medium speed, or mix with spoon. Stir in flour and oats. Spread in pan. Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until light golden brown.
• Meanwhile, in 1-quart saucepan, heat caramels and half-and-half over low heat, stirring occasionally, until caramels are melted. Pour caramel mixture over crust. Sprinkle with chocolate chunks, nuts and pretzels.
• Bake 5 to 8 minutes or until chocolate is softened. Cool about 1 hour or until chocolate is set. For bars, cut into 6 rows by 6 rows.

LOADED PUB FRIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• Peel the potatoes, if preferred, and cut into equal size wedges. Wash potato wedges and place them in a bowl. Pour butter and olive over potatoes, add garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper; toss potatoes with spices and butter. Pour the potatoes to a large baking sheet and bake for about 30 to 45 minutes or until nice and golden and crisp.
• You can now leave the potatoes on a baking sheet or place them in an oven safe skillet. Top the oven fries with the cheese and place them under the broiler for 2 minutes or until cheese melts.
• Top oven fries with sour cream, green onions and turkey bacon.
