Method

Fries Preparation

1

Bake the Fries

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread the frozen French fries on a baking sheet and drizzle with vegetable oil. Toss to coat evenly.

2

Cook the Fries

Bake the fries in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through.

Chili Preparation

3

Cook the Beef

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

4

Add Vegetables

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

5

Combine Other Ingredients

Stir in the kidney beans, diced tomatoes, chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Assembly

6

Layer the Fries

Once the fries are cooked, remove them from the oven and place them on a serving platter.

7

Add Chili and Cheese

Spoon the chili mixture over the fries, then top with shredded cheddar cheese.

8

Garnish and Serve

Add dollops of sour cream, sprinkle with sliced green onions, and jalapeños to taste. Serve immediately.
