chili cheese fries

Spicy topped strips

Chili cheese fries are French fries topped with chili con carne and melted cheese, served as a hearty bar food or fast-food indulgence.

The dish layers crispy fries under warm, meaty chili and gooey cheese—often cheddar or a processed cheese sauce: We split an order of chili cheese fries after the game.
