Method

Preparing Fries

  1. 1

    Bake the Fries

    Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Spread the frozen French fries on a baking sheet in a single layer. Drizzle with vegetable oil and toss to coat. Bake according to package instructions until golden and crispy, usually around 25-30 minutes.

Making Chili

  1. 2

    Cook the Beef

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook until it's browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 3

    Add Aromatics

    Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Stir in the kidney beans, diced tomatoes, chili powder, ground cumin, salt, black pepper, and water. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

  4. 5

    Simmer the Chili

    Reduce the heat and let the chili simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally until it thickens to your liking.

Assembling the Dish

  1. 6

    Combine Fries and Chili

    Once the fries are done baking, remove them from the oven and place them on a serving platter. Spoon the chili generously over the fries.

  2. 7

    Add Toppings

    Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the chili-covered fries, followed by the sliced green onions. Top with dollops of sour cream.

  3. 8

    Serve

    Serve immediately while hot and enjoy your delicious chili cheese fries!
