Ingredients

  • 1 24 oz bag frozen waffle fries
  • 4 Tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp garlic salt
  • 1 cup whole milk or half and half
  • 3/4 cup Guinness or lager beer
  • 2 cups shredded Swiss cheese divided use
  • 2 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 cups chopped deli corned beef
  • 1 cup sauerkraut rinsed, squeeze dry
  • 1/2 cup prepared thousand island dressing plus additional for serving
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Spray a large sheet pan with cooking spray. Spread waffle fries on pan. Bake for 22-25 minutes until golden.
  • Meanwhile, on the stovetop over medium high heat melt butter in a 1-2 quart heavy bottomed saucepan. Add flour and garlic salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant and smooth, about 1 minute.
  • Whisk in milk and beer until combined. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce slightly thickens, about 5-8 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese and Dijon mustard until smooth.
  • Arrange waffle fries on a clean pan. (You may overlap and layer depending on the pan.) Drizzle with cheese sauce. Arrange corned beef and sauerkraut over waffle fries, then sprinkle with remaining 1 cup Swiss cheese. Place under broiler until cheese has melted.
  • Drizzle with thousand island dressing, dollops of sour cream and garnish with fresh chives.
  • Serve immediately with additional thousand island dressing on the side for dipping.
