Homemade Poutine with the New Kraft Shredded Cheese with A Touch of Philadelphia Cheese

On the weekends, I often take a more relaxed approach to meals by making a treat that we might not have for a regular Monday-Friday meal. The classic Canadian dish ...Poutine...is a really fun and delicious dish that we sometimes create on weekends. It's something that we enjoy on a Saturday night when we have a family movie night. And with a few ingredients, it's a very simple dish to put together and it's something that everybody loves!

This dish is flexible in so many ways. It can be created with homemade fries or store bought fries, homemade gravy or store bought gravy and it can be covered with whatever cheese you desire. This dish is really all about the crispy fries and the delicious cheese that is melted perfectly on top! Recently I had the chance to try the new Kraft Shredded Cheese with a Touch of Philadelphia and it produced the most gorgeous melt on our poutine. It was absolutely heavenly! Kraft has specially blended their Kraft Shredded Cheese with a Touch of Philadelphia to deliver a soft and creamy melt that will make your favourite meals even better. Available in 3 delicious kinds including:Creamy Mozza, Creamy Herb & Garlic and Creamy Mexicana, this new cheese is so good that the melt is all you'll remember! Just see how delicious our poutine looks with the new Kraft Creamy Herb & Garlic Shredded Cheese with a Touch of Philadelphia.

 Here is how we make poutine at our house:

Homemade Poutine

Ingredients

2. Remove fries from oven and divide amongst 4 individual heat-proof dishes.

The poutine looks and tastes so good!

Everyone in my family loved this new cheese and the poutine disappeared quite quickly.
