Use 4 oz Beef Crumbles instead

They come fully cooked and seasoned, so step 3 becomes a quick warmup and you can leave out the salt and pepper. Thaw them in the fridge overnight. Heat them in a skillet over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring, until they reach 165°F. Then pile them on the fries in step 4.
