"What's for dinner?"
This is a question that I often have to summon an answer for around here.
My mind races. I open the fridge and realize there's really nothing to make... again.
BUT. It's what's in my freezer that usually saves the day.
Keeping stocked on tasty go-tos like Gorton's Fish Sticks can turn a moment of sheer panic into one of dinner victory.
I can basically make SO many tasty unique meals with a little creativity. Serve them as is... or make something really memorable in minutes. Enter Fish & Chips Sheet Pan "Nachos". A seriously simple idea that can make you instantly feel like you're winning this whole dinner thing.
To make this easy twist on Fish & Chips, I baked up steak fries and a bag of Gorton's Fish Sticks. Once they are both done baking, lay them out on a sheet pan and get ready for a tasty transformation with just a handful of ingredients.
This easy dish is elevated by using the basic ingredients typically used in making tartar sauce as "nacho" toppings instead. Plus. Cheese. Always cheese.
To make these Fish & Chips "Nachos" pop, melt the cheese over top by broiling in the oven. Then immediately top with lemon slices, dill pickle slices and fresh parsley. Then, whip up a quick sauce using mayo mixed with lemon juice, salt and pepper. Mmm. Seriously good.
