Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 32 oz Frozen French fries (or homemade fries)
- 1 lb Ground beef (80% lean)
- 1 tbsp Cajun seasoning
- 2 cups Cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 4 slices American cheese (slices)
- 1 Yellow onion (diced)
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes (quartered)
- 1 cup Pickles (chopped)
- 0.25 cup Ketchup
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp Mustard
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Cooking oil
- 2 Scallions (sliced, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) or as directed on the frozen French fries package. Spread the fries on a baking sheet and cook until crispy. If using homemade fries, bake or fry them to golden perfection.
While the fries are cooking, heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the ground beef. Break it up with a spatula, cooking until browned and no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess grease, if needed.
Sprinkle the Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper over the cooked beef, stirring to evenly coat. Allow the beef to cook for another 2 minutes, then remove from heat.
Once the fries are done, transfer them to an oven-safe dish or cast-iron skillet. Spread the blackened beef mixture evenly across the fries.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the beef and fries. Tear the American cheese slices into smaller pieces and distribute them evenly over the top.
Place the dish back into the oven for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbling.
While the cheese melts, combine ketchup, mayonnaise, and mustard in a small bowl to make a burger sauce. Set aside.
Once the fries are ready, remove them from the oven. Top with sautéed onions, cherry tomatoes, pickles, and drizzle generously with the prepared burger sauce.
Garnish with sliced scallions before serving. Serve immediately and enjoy this indulgent, savory treat!
