Ingredients

  • 1 lb. ground beef
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • ½ small onion minced
  • 2 cloves of garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • water as needed
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • pinch cayenne pepper or to taste
  • 650 grams frozen French fries cooked according to package directions
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  • Melt the butter in a pan over medium heat.
  • Add the onion and garlic, and fry until translucent, about 5 minutes or so.
  • Add the ground beef and, using a whisk, break it up. Cook until browned.
  • Add the spices and tomato paste, and fry until fragrant.
  • Add a small amount of water, turn the heat to low, and simmer until ready to serve (I like to simmer for a few hours).  But you could serve anywhere after about 20 minutes or so.
  • Add water as needed, while simmering, when beef is looking a bit dry.
  • While the chili simmers, cook the fries until golden brown and crisp.
  • Arrange the fries on a serving plate.
  • Spoon the hot chili sauce over the fries.
  • Add shredded cheddar cheese, optional.
