Chili Cheese Fries Ingredients

Method

Chili Cheese Fries Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fries

    Preheat your oven as per the instructions on the frozen fries package. Spread the frozen fries evenly on a baking tray.

  2. 2

    Cook the Fries

    Bake the fries in the preheated oven according to package instructions until they are golden and crispy, usually about 20-25 minutes.

  3. 3

    Cook the Ground Beef

    In a skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Break it apart with a spatula and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add Chili Seasoning

    Drain excess fat from the skillet. Stir in the chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

  5. 5

    Incorporate Chili Beans

    Add the canned chili beans (with liquid) to the beef mixture. Stir well and let it simmer on low heat for about 5 minutes.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Chili Cheese Fries

    Once the fries are ready, remove them from the oven and place them on a serving platter. Pour the chili mixture over the fries evenly.

  7. 7

    Add Cheese and Garnish

    Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese generously over the chili-topped fries. If desired, return them to the oven for 3-5 minutes to melt the cheese.

  8. 8

    Serve

    Garnish with chopped green onions and a dollop of sour cream on top. Serve immediately.
