Sharing is caring!

There comes a time in everyone’s life where they need to spice things up a tad.  These Southwestern Cheddar Steak Fries are just what the Doctor ordered. 🙂  Seriously, is there anything better than oven roasted potato wedges topped with melted cheddar, & bell peppers?  Maybe if you added bacon to the fries. LOL!

Southwestern Oven Steak Fries

In our house, we have nerdy little names for some of our dinners.  We have Game Night and Movie Night.  We have Snack Night and DIY Night.  Steak Fries get made for most of those nights.  The kids get to where they request a  specific night because they want specific foods.

Game Night – We eat finger foods & Fondue and play board games.  Our current favorite (with my teens, especially) is 5-Second Rule.  This little game gets down-right hilarious!

Movie Night – This is pretty obvious. 🙂

Snack Night – This is our excuse to eat snaky type finger foods without having to play a game or watch a movie. 🙂

DIY Night–  Leftovers are taking over the fridge.  This is that night where you have to make your own dinner.
