1 bag (28 ounces) frozen seasoned fries, baked per package instructions
5 slices bacon, chopped
1 medium shallot, minced
1 clove garlic, minced
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cup chicken broth
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
2 cups white cheddar cheese curds

Bake seasoned fries per package instructions. While fries are baking, add chopped bacon to a medium skillet and heat over medium heat until crisp. Remove from pan and set aside. In the same pan (don't wipe out bacon grease), add the shallots, stirring until soft. Add garlic and cook for one minute. Add flour, stirring constantly, until the flour becomes a golden color. Slowly pour in the chicken broth, continuing to stir constantly. Add the salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce and continue stirring until the gravy thickens (3-5 minutes) and comes to a simmer. Top the baked fries with cheese curds, gravy, mozzarella cheese, and cooked bacon pieces. Transfer the fries back into the oven for about 5 minutes, or until the cheese melts.
