Chili Cheese Fries Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fries

    Preheat your oven and bake the frozen shoestring French fries according to package instructions until crispy and golden brown.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chili

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until softened. Add ground beef, cooking until browned. Drain excess fat.

    Add Chili Ingredients

    Stir in kidney beans, diced tomatoes, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Let simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Dish

    Once the fries are ready, place them on a serving platter. Spoon the chili mixture over the fries, ensuring an even coverage.

  5. 5
