The Best Chili Cheese Fries
"These Chili Cheese Fries are the stuff that dreams are made of! There is a restaurant here in town that makes the most epic chili cheese fries you can imagine. They put this absolutely incredible cheese sauce on the plate first and then pile the chili and everything else high on top of the fries. And then drizzle with more cheese sauce over everything. When I tried them for the first time, I was blown away. Cheese sauce… on.the.bottom. What genius is this!!! And they are so, so, so good. The flavors are just phenomenal. Of course, I wanted to figure out how I could create these ultimate cheese fries at home. Because I need them in my life regularly."
