Aside from cheese selection, veteran celebrity chef, The Pioneer Woman, notes that using egg and mustard can take a macaroni and cheese dish to the next level. Fortunately, Freddy’s Famous Fry Sauce includes both ingredients in addition to other seasonings that often appear in recipes for this dish, such as garlic, onion and paprika. Since people often dip our Cheese Curds in their choice of Freddy’s fry sauce, it makes sense that this condiment can also help boost the flavor of one of the most beloved foods ever.

 

5. Crab Cakes

French toast like waffles are a versatile vehicle in both savory and sweet dishes. If you aren’t a fan of breakfasts on the sweet side, skip the container filled with maple syrup for a sauce that pairs just a touch of this sweetener with Freddy’s fry sauce. Making a french toast sandwich with fried chicken or eggs and bacon? After the initial cooking, spread some fry sauce and mayo on the toast for a final crisp and extra layer of flavor on the outside of the sandwich.

 

8. Seven-Layer Salad
