Sunday Football BBQ Chili Fries

Whether I like it our not, our TV is perpetually stuck on NFL every single Sunday starting at the beginning of September every year.  With the Seahawks playing, we were feeling a little festive, so naturally, I cooked!

BBQ Chili Fries

Fries:
6 large potatoes
Coconut Oil Spray (Trader Joe's has a good one!)
Johnny's Seasoning Salt
Paprika

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.  Use a fry slicers or a sharp knife chop the potatoes into strips or a Jo Jo style.  Lay out on a lightly oiled baking sheet and spray a light coat of coconut oil over the fries.  Sprinkle with seasoning salt and paprika.  Bake for approximately 20-25 minutes.  Remove and set aside.  

*For Garlic Fries, add some chopped fresh Garlic and a sprinkling of chopped Parsley.


Chili:
6 Cups of dry beans (mixed types)
OR
6 Cans of beans, drained and rinsed (save some sodium by rinsing!)
2 Cups BBQ sauce

2 Cups Water
1/2 Cup Ketchup
2 Tablespoons Chili Powder
1 Tablespoon Garlic powder
OR
Freshly chopped Garlic
1 Bunch Green Onions, rinsed & chopped
Soy Cheddar cheese

Fill a large pot 1/2 full with water.  Pour in dry beans and allow to soak overnight.  When you are ready to begin your chili, turn the pot on medium heat and bring the beans and water to a slow boil.  Add the BBQ sauce, water, ketchup, chili powder and garlic powder and allow to continue cooking.  When it has began to thicken,  turn down the heat to medium-low.  Serve over fries.  Top with green onions and soy cheddar cheese.
