For the fries
- 26 ounce frozen French fries
- 4 cups chili I made a batch of Carrol Shelby's chili, but you can use your own recipe or even canned chili, whichever you prefer
- other toppings optional, consider adding sliced jalapenos, sour cream, whatever you like!
For the fries
Prepare the fries per package instructions. Meanwhile make the cheese sauce (below).
Serve fries topped with chili, cheese sauce and whatever favorite toppings you prefer.
For the cheese sauce
Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium-low heat.
Whisk in the flour and cook for 2 minutes, whisking constantly.
Add the garlic powder, onion powder and chili powder and whisk to combine.
While whisking, slowly add in the milk. Let the sauce come to a simmer and stir to thicken.
Reduce heat to low and stir in the cheese until smooth, creamy and melted. If the sauce gets too thick stir in a bit more milk.
