Description
Cheeseburger French Fry Bake is a comfort food masterpiece that brings together the classic flavors of a cheeseburger and the hearty satisfaction of a casserole.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef (80/20)
- 1 (10.5-ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
- 1 (10.5-ounce) can cheddar cheese soup
- 1 (30-ounce) bag frozen shoestring french fries
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 tablespoon mustard
- 1 tablespoon pickle juice
- 1 tablespoon dehydrated onions
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. Cook the ground beef with the diced onion and minced garlic in a skillet until browned. Drain excess fat. Stir in the cream of mushroom soup, cheddar cheese soup, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 3-4 minutes.
3. Spread the beef mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish. Top with a layer of frozen french fries, then sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top.
4. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until fries are golden brown and cheese is bubbly.
5. While the bake is in the oven, whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, pickle juice, and dehydrated onions in a small bowl.
6. Once the Cheeseburger French Fry Bake is hot and ready, drizzle the burger sauce over the top or serve it on the side for dipping.
Notes
For a leaner option, substitute ground turkey for the beef.
Use gluten-free cream of mushroom soup and select a gluten-free frozen french fry brand for a gluten-free version.
Add diced jalapeños or a sprinkle of cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.
Sprinkle crispy bacon bits on top for extra flavor.
Replace ground beef with sautéed mushrooms, bell peppers, and onions for a vegetarian version.
