    Chili cheese fries — crispy fries piled high with warm Texas chili, melted cheese, onions and jalapeños

    Chili cheese fries are the ultimate Texas bar-food indulgence — crispy fries piled high with warm chili, drowned in melted cheese, and scattered with onions and jalapeños. One plate feeds a table and disappears in minutes.

    Step by stepInstructions

    1. Cook the fries according to the package directions, until extra crispy.
    2. Warm the chili in a saucepan and melt the cheese (or warm the cheese sauce).
    3. Pile the fries on a platter and spoon the chili over them.
    4. Drizzle with cheese sauce and sprinkle with shredded cheddar, onion, and jalapeños.
    5. Finish with cilantro and serve immediately.

    💡 Chef tips & storage

    Use frozen fries cooked extra-crispy — they hold up under the chili and cheese. Warm the chili separately and pour the cheese sauce over the top right before serving.
