This is one of the best recipes that Corrie cooks tried and it turned out awesome. The chili when prepared gave out a mouthwatering aroma which increased to an unimaginable extent after baking it combined with fries. The only customization I did was to use peanut butter and feta cheese as additional toppings making the loaded chili cheese fries much richer!
