Ingredients

  • 4 cups frozen shoe-string French fries
  • 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
  • 1 14-ounce jar marinara sauce

Directions

    High in vitamin C, these hard, tart berries are grown in bogs in colder regions of North America and Europe. They’re almost always eaten cooked, as in the classic Thanksgiving relish.
