Chili Cheese Fries

A combination of homemade oven fries and homemade chili equals delicious satisfaction. 



Sorry if this post annoys you because I don't have an actual recipe (at least for the seasonings). When we make stuff like this, we just throw things together. Our chili always turns out good! And you really can't go wrong with baking fries in the oven.

Chili:
1 lb ground beef
1 green pepper, diced
however much diced onion you choose
1 8 oz can tomato sauce
1 can tomato soup
1 can diced tomatoes (chili ready, or whatever flavor you want)
1 can chili beans
1 can kidney beans
1 can black or pinto beans
seasonings to taste: salt, pepper, chili powder, onion powder, paprika, garlic powder, hot sauce (for when you want a kick)
 1. Brown beef (with green peppers and onions), drain grease.
 2.Add everything else, seasonings a little bit at a time. Simmer for about 45 min on med-low heat. Taste every once in a while to see if it needs any more seasonings.

Fries:
Potatoes
Olive/vegetable oil
Seasonings: salt, pepper, garlic powder or garlic salt, chili powder, oregano
 1. Cut potatoes (we used 6 very small potatoes) into strips the size of french fries and put in bowl.
 2. Drizzle desired amount of oil on potatoes and toss to combine (we normally do 1-2 tablespoons).
 3. Spread potatoes on baking sheet and sprinkle seasonings on.
 4. Bake at 425 for about 45 min, or until crispy

Chili Cheese Fries!
Put fries on your plate. Smother with chili. Smother with cheese and sour cream! Eat and fill your belly!
