Prep Time: 20 mins
Cook Time: 30 mins
Total Time: 50 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 servings

Ingredients

  1. 1 lb ground beef
  2. 4 cups frozen French fries
  3. 1 cup shredded cheese
  4. 1/2 cup ketchup
  5. 1/4 cup mustard
  6. Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This will ensure that your casserole cooks evenly and thoroughly.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook the beef, breaking it apart with a spatula, until it is browned and fully cooked, about 7-10 minutes.
  3. Once the ground beef is cooked, drain any excess fat from the skillet. This will help prevent the casserole from becoming greasy.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked ground beef with ketchup and mustard. Stir until the beef is evenly coated with the condiments.
  5. In a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, spread the beef mixture evenly across the bottom. This will be the base layer of your casserole.
  6. Next, layer the frozen French fries evenly over the beef mixture. Make sure the fries cover the beef completely for a uniform texture and flavor.
  7. Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top of the French fries. This will melt and create a delicious cheesy layer as the casserole bakes.
  8. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil to prevent the cheese from burning during the initial baking phase.
  9. Place the covered casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes. This allows the fries to cook through and the flavors to meld.
  10. After 20 minutes, carefully remove the foil from the baking dish. This will allow the cheese to brown nicely.
  11. Return the casserole to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
  12. Once done, remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help the layers set slightly for easier serving.
  13. Cut into squares and serve warm. Enjoy your delicious cheeseburger and fries casserole!

Tips

  1. For extra flavor, consider using seasoned ground beef or adding some diced onions while cooking the meat.
  2. Choose a cheese that melts well, like cheddar or a Mexican blend, for the best gooey texture.
  3. If you want a crispier top, broil the casserole for 2-3 minutes after baking to give the cheese a golden brown finish.
  4. Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes after baking to help it set and make serving easier.
  5. For a healthier twist, you can use ground turkey instead of beef and opt for sweet potato fries.
  6. Serve with additional condiments like pickles, extra ketchup, or a side salad to complete the meal.
  7. This casserole reheats well, making it perfect for meal prep or leftovers!
