Chili cheese fries

She said she is finally ready to eat rey food. But she wanted soft fries. Yesterday's lesson with the golden potatoes told me they would be perfect.

I canned this chili January 2025 so it is no longer possible to make it for this price because of the ground beef. At the time I made 12 quarts of chili for $50, that was 28% cheaper than buying canned chili that you know wasn't even comparable to homemade.

I'm wondering if my canned chili recipe would work with lentils.

Cost per person $2.53 Cost today is probably closer to $2.80

Probably the most aesthetic chili cheese fries I've ever seen. Great execution

It's not a dish that wants to look good for plating.

Well you managed to knock it out of the park anyway, I wish desperately it was in my mouth 🥲

Lentils are probably better if you mean to replace the ground beef, but if you’re looking to supplement it, my favorite addition is hominy.

It's OK to be wrong sometimes, I guess :P

Does this mean soft as in limp and not crispy? That's how I took it, but maybe there is another consideration.

I'm with you. I like mine crispy but she likes hers sad. She was raised in Pennsylvania and that has caused a lot of problems.

Who is "she" and what is rey?

Anyhoo, lentils with some crushed walnuts for a little more texture work really well.

She. My wife. Mentioned in previous posts for regular viewers. Rey, typo. Real.
