How to Make Chili Cheese Fries
Chili cheese fries are a savory treat that’s ready in no time.
Chili – use leftover chili to make this recipe fast (or canned chili in a pinch). Cheese – this is one recipe where pre-shredded cheeses work perfectly!
Recipe Variations
For a little bit of a healthy twist, use sweet potato fries, turkey chili, and low-fat cheese. Swap chili for sloppy joe mix (or lentil sloppy joe mix for a veggie version). Trade out the chili for homemade taco meat.
