Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 425 F.
-
Brown ground beef and garlic in a large pot. Add tomato sauce, cumin, chili powder, salt, oregano, and cayenne; stir, then simmer for at least 20 minutes.
-
In a small saucepan, heat milk, cream cheese, processed cheese, cayenne, and garlic powder over low heat, stirring frequently. Whisk in shredded cheddar, then whisk in taco sauce and hot sauce.
-
Spread french fries in an even layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 25 minutes, stirring halfway through.
-
Pile fries in the center of the baking sheet and top with shredded cheddar. Broil until the cheese is melted.
-
Top the cheesy fries with about half of the prepared chili, then add the nacho cheese sauce.
-
Optionally, garnish with chopped scallions and a drizzle of taco sauce, serving any remaining cheese sauce on the side.
