I get really excited about the subject of leftovers. I’m not talking about re-serving your family cold, day-old food, I’m talking about re-inventing the dish you made on Monday and turning it into something completely new and exciting on Tuesday (and possibly even Wednesday too). This dish began with this recipe: Four-Bean Chili. If you're lucky enough to have leftovers, make these kid-friendly Baked Fries.
This is a 5-in-1 meal. Use leftovers from this Four-Bean Chili to make these Baked Fries, plus Chili Spaghetti, Chili Mac and Cheese, and Chili Baked Potatoes.
