A hearty, all‑in‑one family dinner featuring seasoned ground beef layered over crispy fries, melted cheese, and classic cheeseburger toppings—comfort food made easy in a casserole dish.
Ingredients
1 lb (450 g) ground beef
1 packet (about 1 oz/28 g) taco or cheeseburger seasoning
1 Tbsp vegetable oil
1 bag (about 28 oz/800 g) frozen French fries
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
¼ cup milk
½ cup diced onion
½ cup diced pickles (optional)
¼ cup ketchup
2 Tbsp mustard
Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 °F (200 °C). Grease a 9×13‑inch baking dish.
In a skillet over medium heat, warm oil and sauté diced onion until soft, about 3 minutes.
Add ground beef and cook until no longer pink, crumbling with a spoon. Drain any excess grease.
Stir in seasoning packet, milk, ketchup, mustard, salt, and pepper; cook another 2 minutes until mixture is saucy.
Spread frozen French fries in an even layer across the bottom of the prepared dish.
Spoon beef mixture evenly over the fries.
Top with shredded cheddar cheese.
Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, until fries are cooked through and cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let rest 5 minutes, then sprinkle diced pickles on top if using. Serve immediately.
