Fries

Chili Topping

Cheese Sauce

Garnish

Method

Prepare the Fries

  1. 1

    Cook the Fries

    Preheat the oven or fryer as per package instructions for the frozen French fries. Cook the fries until they are golden brown and crispy, following the package instructions.

Make the Chili Topping

  1. 2

    Brown 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.

  2. 3

    Add Vegetables

    Add chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Cook until the onion is translucent, about 3-5 minutes.

  3. 4

    Combine Chili Ingredients

    Stir in the canned diced tomatoes, kidney beans, chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Let the mixture simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Prepare the Cheese Sauce

  1. 5

    Make the Roux

    In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, whisk in the all-purpose flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until it forms a paste.

  2. 6

    Add Milk

    Gradually pour in the milk while whisking continuously to prevent lumps. Cook until the mixture thickens, about 3-5 minutes.

  3. 7

    Add Cheese

    Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt to taste. Remove from heat.

Assemble the Dish

  1. 8

    Layer the Fries

    Once the fries are cooked, place them on a large serving platter.

  2. 9

    Add Chili

    Spoon the chili topping generously over the fries.

  3. 10

    Drizzle Cheese Sauce

    Pour the cheese sauce over the chili topped fries.

  4. 11

    Garnish

    Top with sliced green onions and dollops of sour cream. Serve immediately.
