For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a dash of your favorite hot sauce or a sprinkle of diced onions to the chili. Feel free to substitute the American cheese with cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend of your favorite cheeses for a more complex flavor profile. If you prefer a thicker cheese sauce, add a bit more cornstarch, a teaspoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency. To prevent the fries from getting soggy, serve immediately after assembling. If you need to prepare them in advance, consider keeping the fries, chili, and cheese sauce separate until ready to serve. Try baking the cheese fries in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-10 minutes after assembling to melt the cheese and meld the flavors together.
