Real Canadian Poutine

Recipe #113388 | 25 min | 5 min prep | add private note

This traditional Canadian dish is DELICIOUS. It is better with cheese curds but you can use regular shredded mozzarella cheese if curds aren't available in your area. For something a little different use spaghetti sauce instead of gravy. Recipe calls for canned gravy but homemade leftover gravy is SO MUCH better. Also, you can use store bought french fries and make them as directed on the package.

From a true Canadian, try fried Hamburger (fried up with your favorite spices) under the gravy and cheese! This makes a meal out of poutine! It's served in pubs all over New Brunswick! Enjoy!

    I became addicted to this when I was in Montreal for 3 weeks. It is wonderful. We have a farm about a mile from us who make all sorts of cheese from milk from their own cows and sell it under the brand name of Farmhouse Cheese. They also make cheese curds, but you have to get there early because they sell out fast! Their herbed cheese curds are great with this dish. It is so yummy. I usually make it when I feel I am a quart low on cholesterol! Marilyn Warren

    This is Canadian cuisine at it's finest, pue and simple. My family has been making poutine for as long as I can remeber and this is the recipe that we use. After a recent drive through Quebec and seeing all of the casse croutes along the highway, I was CRAVING poutine. But not the soggy McDonald's stuff, the real, lick your chops, calorie loaded cheesecurds, melt in your mouth kind. Mmm...poutine...truly an art form.
