Nunya Business Chili Cheese Fries
RECIPE COURTESY OF SUNNY ANDERSON
Level: Easy
Total: 1 hr
Active: 25 min
Yield: 4 to 6 servings

Ingredients

One 28- to 32-ounce bag frozen crinkle cut french fries
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for seasoning
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, grated on a rasp
3 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 pound ground beef (80 percent meat/20 percent fat)
Freshly ground black pepper
2 cups marinara sauce (pick one with personality!)
One 15-ounce jar nacho cheese sauce (mild, medium, spicy—your choice)
3 scallions, sliced on the bias
1/4 cup sliced pickled jalapeños

Directions

Line a sheet tray with aluminum foil. Arrange the fries on the sheet tray in a single layer. Bake according to the package instructions. Season with salt.

Heat the olive oil in a large cast-iron pan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, chili powder and cumin and cook until the spices are fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the beef, salt and a few grinds of black pepper and cook, breaking the beef into bits while browning, until fully cooked, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the marinara sauce and stir to coat. Let cook for 5 minutes to let the flavors meld.

Heat the nacho cheese sauce according to the package instructions. Top the fries with the chili and nacho cheese sauce, then garnish with the scallions and pickled jalapeños.
