Ingredients

  • 1 bag (20 oz) frozen French fries
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ¼ cup ketchup
  • 1 tbsp yellow mustard
  • ½ tsp salt

  • ½ cup chopped dill pickles
  • Optional: diced tomatoes or chopped green onions for topping

Instructions

  3. Add garlic, ketchup, mustard, salt, and pepper to the beef. Stir and simmer for 2–3 minutes.
  4. Transfer the beef mixture to a greased baking dish and spread evenly.
  5. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the beef layer.

  7. Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, or until the fries are golden and crispy.

Notes

  • Use ground turkey or plant-based meat for a lighter version.
  • Swap fries with waffle fries, curly fries, or tater tots for variety.
  • Add jalapeños or hot sauce for a spicy kick.
  • Top with shredded lettuce and tomatoes after baking for a cheeseburger salad feel.
  • Reheat in the oven for crispy fries or microwave for quick leftovers.
