Ingredients:
- 4 cups French fries
- 1/4 cup Velveeta cheese
- 5 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1-2 tablespoons sour cream
Instructions:
-
Prepare the French Fries: Make sure you have your French fries ready. Opt for fresh-cut fries or take-out fries for the best taste. Frozen fries might not give you the desired flavor profile.
-
Create the Cheese Sauce: In a small saucepan, combine the Velveeta cheese, water, enchilada sauce, and chili powder. Allow the cheese to melt completely, creating a smooth and creamy sauce. These measurements are approximate, so feel free to adjust based on your preferences. You can add more water for a thinner consistency or more cheese for extra cheesiness!
-
Assemble the Dish: Once the cheese sauce is ready, arrange the French fries on a serving plate. Pour the cheese sauce generously over the fries, ensuring that each fry is coated in delicious cheese goodness.
-
Garnish and Serve: Finish off your cheesy creation by adding dollops of sour cream on top. This adds a creamy tanginess that perfectly complements the rich cheese sauce.
-
Enjoy! Indulge in this decadent dish that’s bursting with flavor. While it may not be the healthiest option, it’s definitely worth every bite!
