Method

Fries Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fries

    Preheat your oven according to the French fries package instructions. Spread the frozen French fries evenly on a baking sheet.

  2. 2

    Cook the Fries

    Drizzle the fries with vegetable oil and toss to coat. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden and crispy, flipping halfway through.

Chili Preparation

  1. 3

    Cook the Ground Beef

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

  2. 4

    Add Aromatics

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

  3. 5

    Season the Mixture

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

Assembly

  1. 6

    Assemble the Chili Cheese Fries

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

  2. 7

    Add Cheese and Garnish

    Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the hot chili. Top with sour cream and chopped green onions.
