Categories     Appetizers

Time 8h5m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 lb cooked lean ground beef, or turkey
1 cup yellow onion, diced
2 cans diced tomato, with green chiles
1 can kidney bean, drained and rinsed
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
2 tablespoons chili powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons kosher salt
½ cup water
½ cup distilled white vinegar
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon sugar
2 cloves garlic
2 strips lime zest
6 jalapeñoes, sliced into 1/2 in (1 1/4 cm) round
1 bag frozen french fries, preferably crinkle cut
1 cup shredded mexican cheese blend
½ cup sour cream
4 scallions, thinly sliced
slow cooker

Steps:

  • Make the chili: In a slow cooker, combine the ground beef, onion, diced tomatoes, kidney beans, black beans, chili powder, cumin, and salt. Cover and cook on low, stirring often, for about 6 hours, or until the onions are tender.
  • While the chili cooks, make the quick pickled jalapeños: In a small saucepan, combine the vinegar, water, salt, sugar, garlic, and lime zest. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer until the salt and sugar have dissolved, about 2 minutes.
  • Add the jalapeños to a medium heatproof bowl or large mason jar. Carefully pour the pickling liquid over the jalapeños, making sure they are fully submerged. Let the pickles cool to room temperature, about 1 hour. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or seal the jar and transfer to the refrigerator until ready to use. The pickled jalapeños will keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
  • Make the chili cheese fries: Preheat the oven according to the French fry package instructions.
  • Spread the French fries in an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake for 3 minutes less than the package instructs.
  • Remove the fries from the oven and top with several large scoops of chili. Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top. Return to the oven for about 5 minutes, or until the cheese has melted completely.
  • Dollop the sour cream on top of the chili cheese fries, then garnish with the scallions and pickled jalapeños. Let cool slightly, then serve directly off of the pan.
  • Enjoy!
