Beef Chili Cheese Fries
Yield: 6 Servings
Ingredients
2 tb vegetable oil
2 c chopped yellow onions
salt; to taste
cayenne; to taste
2 lb ground beef
1 tb chili powder
2 ts ground cumin
crushed red pepper to taste
2 ts dried oregano leaves
2 tb chopped garlic
3 c tomatoes; peeled seeded and
-- chopped fresh or
-- canned
2 tb tomato paste
3 c beefsteak; or beef broth
2 tb masa harina flour
vegetable oil; for deep
-frying
2 lg idaho potatoes; peeled and
-cut into
-- shoestrings rinsed
-- in cool water and
-- patted dry
1/2 lb grated cheddar cheese
1/2 lb grated monterey jack cheese
1 c sour cream
1/2 c sliced pickled jalapenos
Instructions
1. Heat the vegetable oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the
onions, season with salt and cayenne, and cook, stirring, until they begin
to wilt, about 2 minutes.
2. Add the beef, chili powder, cumin, crushed red pepper, and oregano,
season with salt and cayenne, and cook until all the pink in the meat
disappears, 5 to 6 minutes.
3. Add the garlic, tomatoes, tomato paste and 2 1/2 cups beef stock, bring
to boil, and reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer, uncovered, until the
meat is tender, about 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Skim off any fat that
rises to the surface.
4. Combine the masa harina flour with the remaining 1/2 cup stock and mix
to blend. Slowly add to the pot, stirring to blend. The mixture will
thicken. Cook for 30 minutes, then season again with salt and cayenne. It
should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
5. In a heavy, deep pot or an electric fryer, heat 4 inches of vegetable
oil to 360 F. Fry the shoestring potatoes in batches until golden brown, 3
to 4 minutes per batch. Drain on paper towels, then season with salt and
cayenne.
6. Preheat the oven to 400 F
5. Cover the bottom of a large, glass rectangular baking pan with the
shoestring potatoes. Combine the Cheddar and Jack cheeses. Sprinkle the
cheese over the fries.
6. Bake just until the cheese melts, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the pan from
the oven and spoon the chili over the top of the fries. Garnish with the
sour cream and jalapenos. Serve immediately.

Get some french fries from the freezer section of your store. Get the ones that are seasoned. Spray a cookie sheet with non-stick cooking spray and put a layer of fries on the sheet, spray the tops with more cooking spray. This will insure they get nice and crisp im the oven. Cook according to the package directions. In the meantime heat a can of your favorite chili, I suggest Armor. Then heat up some nacho cheese. Take the fries out of the oven, top with chili and then cheese. Yummy.

buy already made chili sauce in the market then warm it up on your own, and buy shredded cheese and put in microwave till it melts, then fry your fries till crispy, after the fries are done, put them in a bowl, then dump the chili and cheese on top of it :)
