HOW TO MAKE THIS CHILI CHEESE FRIES RECIPE
STEP ONE: Prepare the French fries according to the package directions on a baking sheet.
STEP TWO: In a skillet, sauté a diced onion until it starts to become translucent.
STEP THREE: Then add the ground beef and cook until all the pink is gone, then drain the fat off.
STEP FOUR: Next add the tomato sauce, tomato paste, diced tomatoes, green chilies, water, and seasonings. Stir and let simmer for 3 to 5 minutes while you shred the cheese.
STEP FIVE: In a medium saucepan, heat up the heavy cream until bubbles start to form around the sides. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the cheeses and seasonings until the cheese is completely melted.
STEP SIX: Now you’re ready to assemble the toppings. Spread some of the cheese on the bottom of a plate, then pile the French fries on top of the cheese. Add a little more cheese, then top with chili. Finally, add more cheese sauce and garnish with green onions and jalapeño
