Chili Cheese Fries

Method

Chili Cheese Fries

  1. 1

    Prepare the French Fries

    Preheat your oven according to the instructions on the French fries package. Spread the frozen French fries evenly on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Bake the French Fries

    Bake the French fries in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through to ensure even cooking.

  3. 3

    Cook the Ground Beef

    While the fries are baking, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add Seasoning and Tomatoes

    Once the beef is cooked, add the mule chili seasoning and diced tomatoes to the skillet. Stir well to combine and let simmer for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Dish

    Once the fries are done baking, remove from the oven and transfer them to a large serving bowl. Top the fries with the chili mixture, then sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top.

  6. 6

    Melt the Cheese

    Place the assembled fries back into the oven for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  7. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove the chili cheese fries from the oven and garnish with sour cream and sliced green onions. Serve immediately and enjoy!
