Sounds good Billy. Kind of reminds me of Blush sauce or Vodka Sauce. I'll have to try it. Thanks.

French-Fry Pie
4 cups frozen shoe-string French fries
1 1/2 pounds ground beef
1 14-ounce jar marinara sauce
Heat oven to 425° F. Spread the fries on a baking sheet. Bake until golden, about 25 minutes.
Meanwhile, cook the ground beef in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until no trace of pink remains, 8 to 10 minutes. Spoon off any excess fat. Add the marinara sauce and cook until warmed through. Transfer to an 8-by-11-inch or 8-inch-square baking dish. Top with the fries. If desired, return to oven for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Yield: Makes 4 servings
think of all the things you could do with this -

I made this again tonight with chicken, 1 1/2 pounds of muchrooms, mild homemade salsa [no tomatoes in the cupboard], low-fat half and half and a cornstarch slurry. At the end I added about 1 1/2 cups of freshly grated Parm. Reg. ...if I'd made twice as much I think it'd all have been eaten.
