Ingredients:

  • 1 (15 oz.) can Dei Fratelli Sloppy Joe Sauce
  • 1 lb. Ground Beef
  • 1 (20 oz.) package Frozen French Fries
  • Cheddar Cheese, shredded, as needed
  • 1/4 Red Onion, diced

Instructions:

  • Preheat oven or fryer and cook french fries according to the package's directions.
  • Begin cooking the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. Once cooked through, drain excess grease.
  • Once the ground beef is fully cooked, add Dei Fratelli Sloppy Joe Sauce to the skillet. Reduce the heat to low and stir the ground beef and Sloppy Joe Sauce together.
  • Once the fries are done cooking to desired crispiness, plate the fries and top with the Sloppy Joe mixture, diced red onion, and shredded cheddar cheese.
    • You can also add the Sloppy Joe mixture to the top of the french fries on your sheet tray, top with shredded cheese and bake in your oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly; about 6 minutes.

Chef's Tip:

What are the best ingredients for cheese fries with a twist?
To make these simple cheesy fries, you only need five basic ingredients: a bag of your favorite frozen french fries, one pound of ground beef, a quarter of a diced red onion, shredded cheddar cheese, and a can of Dei Fratelli Sloppy Joe Sauce. The sloppy joe sauce replaces traditional chili to give the dish a sweet, tangy, and robust flavor profile.
How do you make homemade chili cheese fries faster?
If you want a quick shortcut to homemade chili cheese fries, swap out standard chili for Dei Fratelli Sloppy Joe Sauce. Because the sauce is already perfectly seasoned and simmered, all you have to do is brown your ground beef, stir in the sauce, and pour it over your cooked fries; saving you hours of simmering time.
Can I bake the cheese right onto the sloppy joe fries?
Yes! While you can simply layer the warm meat and cheese on a plate, baking makes them even better. After your fries are cooked to a crisp on your sheet tray, top them with the ground beef mixture and plenty of shredded cheddar cheese. Pop the tray back into the oven at your frying temperature and bake for about 6 minutes until the cheese is completely melted and bubbly.
How do I keep my cheese fries from getting soggy?
The secret to avoiding soggy fries is to cook the frozen french fries until they are extra crispy before adding any toppings. Additionally, make sure to drain the excess grease from your ground beef thoroughly before adding the Sloppy Joe Sauce so no extra oil breaks down the crispiness of the fries.
