1 bag (28 ounces) frozen seasoned fries, baked per package instructions
5 slices bacon, chopped
1 pound boneless beef chuck, chopped into small cubes
16 ounces of sliced baby portobello mushrooms
4 tablespoons butter
1 small onion, minced
3 clove garlic, minced
1/3 cup flour all-purpose flour

1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon Worchestershire sauce

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 chopped beef chuck and cook until brown.
Add the butter and allow to melt. Now add onion and mushrooms, stirring occasionally until onion is soft and translucent.
Add garlic and cook for one minute.
Add flour, stirring constantly, until the flour becomes a golden color.
Slowly pour in the beef broth, continuing to stir constantly. Add the salt, pepper, and Worchestershire sauce and bring to a boil.
Allow to simmer until thick.
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.
Top with chives and serve.
