1
Bake the Fries
Preheat your oven according to the package instructions for the crinkle cut fries. Spread the frozen fries in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for the recommended time, usually around 20-25 minutes, until crispy and golden brown. Remember to flip them halfway through.
2
Season the Fries
Once the fries are done baking, remove them from the oven and season with salt to taste. Set aside and keep warm.

3
Prepare the Ground Beef Mixture
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, chili seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until the ingredients are just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
4
Form the Patties
Divide the beef mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 3/4 inch thick.
5
Grill the Patties
Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness. If using a grill, you can add the shredded Cheddar cheese on top of the patties during the last minute of cooking to allow it to melt.

6
Toast the Buns
While the patties are cooking, toast the Wheat Montana potato buns on the grill or in a toaster until lightly golden.
7
Build the Burger
Place each cooked burger patty on the bottom half of a toasted bun. Top each patty with a generous amount of melted Cheddar cheese and a sprinkle of diced red onion. Place the top half of the bun on top.
8
Serve
Serve the open-faced chili cheeseburgers with a side of crinkle cut fries. Enjoy!
