Nothing is more satisfying to teenage boys as Chili Cheese Fries! I have a really Easy Crock Pot Chili recipe that my boys go crazy for. Add some Zesty Twirls from Ore-Ida plus a little shredded cheese and they are in heaven. Sometimes we serve leftover chili with these Chili Baked Potatoes for an easy dinner.
Rather it is game day or the new movie we have all been dying to see, when we gather around the tv, there has to be food. Good snacks to be exact.
I depend on having my freezer stocked when the occasion arises that we can all enjoy family time and great food without spending hours in the kitchen.
My favorite is snack is spinach dip and I always keep a box or two of Bird's Eye Chopped Spinach ready to go in my freezer when the craving hits.
Now how about some chili cheese fries! You know you are craving them!
