West Coast Poutine

Good day y’all!!! 🌧️
Hope you’ve had a lovely weekend. We had some much-needed rain… have I told you I LOVE rain?!

And rainy days need comfort food, right?
So in the Bitemecanada Kitchen we made West Coast Poutine — and it was AMAZEBALLS!

We bit it two days in a row — it was THAT BITEABLE.
So here’s what I did…

Ingredients 🍁

The “stuff”…

• 3 cups (or whatever) assorted veggies, cut into ½–¾” dice
  (They shrink when roasted — you don’t want “specks” of veggies!)
  • I used onions, fennel (love fennel!), carrots, radishes (taste like taters when roasted — low carb idea!), broccoli, cauliflower, peppers & kale.
  • But you do you — any veggies work.
• ¼–⅓ cup GOOD olive oil
• Seasonings of your choice (I did Italian herbs & pepper)
• ½–¾ cup cheese curds (mine were from Costco — “squeakers”!)
• Brown gravy (I use the Costco Trio mix — no fat, no MSG, no GMO, and super tasty!)
  • Mix ½ cup gravy mix into 2 cups boiling water
  • Add 2 Tbsp horseradish (optional but amazing)
  • You can also add sautéed mushrooms or onions — or nothing but LOVE ❤️
• 1 lb cooked, crumbled, and drained ground beef

Instructions 👩‍🍳

What to do with the “stuff”…

1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
2. Wash and cut all veggies into chunks (remember they’ll shrink — make them big!)
3. Toss veggies in a large bowl with olive oil and seasonings until evenly coated.
4. Spread onto 1–2 sheet pans in a single layer (so they roast, not steam).
5. Roast for 20 minutes, stir, then roast another 15 minutes or until caramelized and slightly charred.
6. Turn off the oven. Sprinkle cheese curds over veggies and return to oven until melty and gooey (nobody likes a hard squeaker!)
7. While veggies roast, make your gravy and doctor it up however you like.
8. To assemble:
   • Spoon a dollop of gravy in the bottom of a bowl and swirl it around.
   • Add ½–¾ cup cooked ground beef on top.
   • Add the roasted cheesy veggies over the beef.
   • Spoon that glorious beefy, horseradishy gravy all over.
   • Garnish with green onions and serve with warm naan bread.

Result: Off. The. Hook. 🔥

Notes 📝

I used ground beef because Ken is a total ground beefaholic, but you can use any protein — just cook it first.
Or skip the meat entirely. There are no rules here.

The ideas are endless… make it, bite it, and let me know how many ways you ❤️ it.
