Chili Cheese Fries
For Christmas 2019 my Mom gave me a cookbook, specifically 'Cooking With Beer' recipe card set and that is where this recipe comes from. This sounds very good, on my to make and taste list.
Ingredients
- 750 grams ground beef, or ground pork, (1 1/2 lbs)
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, smashed and minced
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 1/2 cup lager, your favorite brand
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- salt and pepper, as desired
- 1 package frozen french fries, (1 kilo / 2 lbs)
- 1 can cheese sauce, your favorite brand, (15 oz / 425 g can)
- sour cream, for serving
- spring onion, sliced, for serving
Instructions
- In a large non stick pan, brown the ground beef with the onion and garlic. Cook while breaking up the meat until no pink or very little pink remains, then drain off the fat.
- To the meat, stir in the chili powder, tomato paste, and lager. Simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring often, until most of the liquid has evaporated. Taste and season with salt and pepper as desired.
- While the beef is simmering, bake the french fries according to the package instructions. Heat the cheese sauce.
- Divide the fries among bowls, top with chili and cheese sauce.
- Garnish with sour cream and spring onion as desired. Serve and enjoy.
