Make the Crispy Oven-Baked Kabocha Squash Fries.

• Use this recipe.

Once the fries are baking in the oven, start on the toppings.

• Chop up the bacon into thin slivers (like 1/4 inch x 1 inch).
• At medium heat, cook the bacon.
• Once the bacon is cooked to your liking, remove it from the pan and place it on a plate to cool.
• Add the ground beef to the pan with the bacon fat.
• Cook the ground beef in the bacon fat until browned, and salt it to taste.
• Set the ground beef aside to rest and cool.

Shred the raw cheese and chop the lettuce and chives.

• With your vegetable (or cheese) grater, shred the raw cheese.
• Chop the iceberg lettuce into long and thin slivers.
• Finely chop the chives.
• Set the shredded cheese, iceberg lettuce, and chives aside in the fridge until you're ready to use them.

When the fries are done baking, put it all together.

• Once the fries are cooled, place them on your serving platter.
• Add a thick layer of raw cheese to the top of the fries.
• Bake the platter in the oven until the cheese is melted.
• Note: remove the platter from the oven once the cheese is melted to prevent the cheese from pasteurizing.
• On top of the cheese, add the ground beef and bacon.
• Garnish with iceberg lettuce.
• Drizzle with yellow mustard, and top with relish and chives to taste.
• Serve and enjoy! Leftovers can be stored in the fridge in an airtight container for 2-3 days.
