Chili Cheese Fries

 Ingredients

- 2 lb russet potatoes, cut into fries (or frozen French fries)

- 3 cups vegetable oil, for frying

- 1 lb ground beef

- 1/2 cup yellow onion, diced

- 2 garlic cloves, minced

- 1 tbsp chili powder

- 1 tsp ground cumin

- 1 cup tomato sauce

- 1/2 cup beef broth

- 1/2 tsp salt

- 1 cup shredded melting cheese (Monterey Jack or mozzarella)

- 1 cup nacho cheese sauce

Instructions

1. Heat oil to 325°F and fry potatoes in batches until light golden, about 4 minutes. Remove and drain. Raise oil to 375°F and fry again until crisp, 2-3 minutes. Season with salt.

2. In a skillet over medium heat, brown ground beef with onion and garlic until cooked through, about 6 minutes. Drain excess fat.

3. Stir in chili powder, cumin, tomato sauce, beef broth, and salt. Simmer uncovered until thickened, about 10 minutes.

4. Pile the fries onto an oven-safe platter. Top with shredded cheese, then the chili meat, then drizzle with nacho cheese sauce.

5. Broil 1-2 minutes until the shredded cheese melts, or microwave the nacho cheese separately and drizzle on right before serving.
