Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef
- 16 oz Frozen French fries
- 1 medium, diced Onion
- 2 cloves, minced Garlic
- 0.33 cup Ketchup
- 2 tbsp Mustard
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 2 cups, shredded Cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup, diced (optional) Pickles
- 1 tbsp Cooking oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Spread the frozen French fries in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until they are golden and crispy. Set aside.
While the fries are baking, heat the cooking oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add diced onions to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, until softened.
Add minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned and fully cooked, about 7-9 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
Stir in the ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the beef evenly. Remove from heat.
Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C).
In a 9x13-inch casserole dish, layer half of the baked French fries on the bottom.
Spread the seasoned ground beef mixture on top of the fries in an even layer.
Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the beef layer.
Add the remaining French fries over the cheese layer.
Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of cheddar cheese over the top layer of fries.
Place the casserole dish in the oven and bake for 15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it sit for 5 minutes before serving.
Optionally, garnish with diced pickles for an extra cheeseburger flavor. Serve warm and enjoy!
