Method

Fries

Prepare the Fries

Preheat your oven according to the instructions on the package of frozen French fries. Spread the fries in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for the recommended time until crispy and golden brown.

Season the Fries

Once the fries are cooked, remove them from the oven and sprinkle them with salt to taste. Set aside to cool slightly.

Chili

Cook the Beef

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

Add Vegetables

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

Mix in Ingredients

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

Simmer the Chili

Reduce the heat to low and let the chili simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened.

Assembly

Assemble the Dish

In a large serving platter, layer the crispy fries evenly. Spoon the chili over the fries, ensuring an even distribution.

Add Cheese and Toppings

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese generously over the chili. Add any additional toppings such as chopped green onions and sour cream to individual preference.

Serve

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