Onion
- 1 medium, chopped
Cheddar Cheese
- 2 cups, shredded
Ketchup
- 1/2 cup
Mustard
- 2 tablespoons
Pickles
- 1/2 cup, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). This step is crucial for achieving the perfect crispy fries.
- Cook the Ground Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef. Add the chopped onion and cook until the beef is no longer pink and the onion is tender.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked beef and onion mixture with ketchup, mustard, and any additional spices you like. Stir until well mixed.
- Layer the French Fries: Spread the frozen French fries evenly in a baking dish. This will be the base for your delightful bake.
- Add the Beef Mixture: Evenly distribute the beef mixture over the layer of fries, making sure to cover them well.
- Top with Cheese: Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheddar cheese over the top, ensuring every bite will be cheesy goodness.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 25 to 30 minutes, or until the fries are golden and the cheese is bubbly.
Notes
- Don’t Overcrowd the Dish: Ensure that the fries have enough space to crisp up nicely in the oven.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh onions or high-quality beef can significantly enhance the flavor of your dish.
- Monitor Cooking Time: Keep an eye on your bake; the cooking time may vary based on your oven.
- Let It Cool: Allow the bake to cool for a few minutes before serving to let the cheese set slightly.
- Experiment with Seasonings: Feel free to add garlic powder, paprika, or even Italian herbs for an extra layer of flavor.
