Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 oz frozen french fries
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 medium, diced onion
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 0.5 cup ketchup
- 1 tbsp yellow mustard
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 cups, shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup (optional) pickle slices
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- (as needed) cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Spread the frozen french fries evenly in the baking dish. Bake them in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even crisping. Remove from the oven and set aside.
While the fries are baking, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart with a spoon or spatula.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the ground beef. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the onion becomes translucent.
Stir the ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper into the beef mixture. Cook for 2-3 more minutes to let the flavors meld. Remove from heat.
Spread the beef mixture evenly over the baked french fries in the dish.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the beef layer.
Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Optional: Top the casserole with pickle slices for added tang and texture before serving.
Let the French Fry Burger Bake cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
