How to Make Chili Cheese Fries

Prepare your golden fries. Bake them in a single layer at 350°F for about 20-25 minutes, or until perfectly crispy and delicious.
Simmer your hearty chili. Gently heat your pre-made or store-bought chili until it’s bubbling and fragrant.
Melt your cheese. Sprinkle your chosen shredded cheese generously over the warm chili until it's wonderfully gooey and luscious.
Assemble this masterpiece. Pile those beautiful fries high, spoon the cheesy chili over them, and serve immediately.
