Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Frozen french fries
- 1 pound Ground beef (80/20 blend or leaner)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
- 1 medium Green bell pepper, diced
- 1 medium Carrot, shredded
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup Ketchup
- 2 tablespoons Mustard
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.25 cup Chopped dill pickles (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish lightly with cooking spray or oil.
Spread the frozen french fries in an even layer in the prepared baking dish. Bake for 20 minutes, or until they start to turn golden brown and crisp.
While the fries bake, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until softened.
Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook for 6-8 minutes, or until browned and cooked through. Drain any excess grease.
Stir in the diced green bell pepper, shredded carrot, and minced garlic. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the veggies are softened.
Season the mixture in the skillet with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Stir in the ketchup, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce, mixing well to combine. Remove the skillet from heat.
Remove the partially baked fries from the oven. Pour the beef and veggie mixture evenly over the fries, spreading it out in an even layer.
Top the casserole with the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped dill pickles, if using.
Return the casserole to the oven and bake for another 10 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped parsley for garnish before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Cheeseburger Fries Casserole with Veggies!
