Ingredients

Scale

Fries

  • 1 bag frozen French fries

Chili and Toppings

  • 2 cups cooked chili
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • Jalapeño slices (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and bake fries: Preheat your oven according to the frozen fries package instructions. Spread out the frozen French fries on a baking sheet in a single layer and bake until crispy and golden, following package directions.
  2. Heat the chili: While the fries are baking, pour the cooked chili into a saucepan and warm it over medium heat, stirring occasionally until heated through.
  3. Assemble fries and chili: Once fries are done, arrange them on a large oven-safe serving plate or baking tray. Pour the warm chili evenly over the fries, then sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top.
  4. Bake to melt cheese: Place the assembled fries back into the oven and bake for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese melts completely and is bubbly.
  5. Add final toppings and serve: Remove from the oven and immediately top with spoonfuls of sour cream, sprinkle with chopped green onions, and add jalapeño slices if you like some heat. Serve hot.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, spread fries in a single layer and avoid overcrowding on the baking sheet.
  • You can use homemade or store-bought chili depending on time and preference.
  • Jalapeño slices are optional but add a nice spicy kick.
  • If you prefer, substitute cheddar cheese with Monterey jack or a cheese blend.
  • Leftover chili cheese fries can be refrigerated and reheated in the oven for best texture retention.
