Description
A comforting and easy casserole that combines all the delicious flavors of a cheeseburger with crispy French fries.
Ingredients
- 1 lb (85–90% lean) ground beef
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cups frozen French fries
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cheddar cheese soup
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×9-inch casserole dish.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and diced onion. Cook until browned, about 6–8 minutes, then drain excess fat.
- Combine the cooked beef mixture with the condensed cheddar soup, milk, and mustard in a large bowl. Stir until smooth.
- Spread half of the frozen fries in an even layer across the bottom of the prepared dish.
- Pour and spread the beef-soup mixture over the fries. Top with the remaining fries.
- Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the fries are tender and the cheese is bubbly and golden. For extra browning, broil on high for 1–2 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
Consider adding a splash of Worcestershire sauce for extra flavor or use non-dairy milk for a dairy-free version.
