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!

Tips:
- For the chili cheese fries, start by cooking the ground beef and onion in a skillet over medium heat until the beef is browned and the onion is softened. Drain any excess grease from the beef mixture.
- In a slow cooker, combine the cooked beef mixture, diced tomatoes, chili beans, corn, black beans, chili powder, cumin, oregano, garlic powder, and paprika. Stir to combine.
- Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, or until the chili is hot and bubbly.
- While the chili is cooking, prepare the cheese sauce by melting the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the mixture is smooth and bubbly.
- Slowly whisk in the milk until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- To assemble the chili cheese fries, place a layer of french fries on a serving platter. Top with the chili, cheese sauce, and any desired toppings, such as sour cream, guacamole, or chopped cilantro.
- For the chili cheese dip, simply combine all of the ingredients in a slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, or until the dip is hot and bubbly.
