Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to create the Cheeseburger French Fry Bake:
- 1 lb ground beef: The base of the cheeseburger flavor. Ground turkey or chicken can also be used as a lighter alternative.
- 1 packet onion soup mix: Adds flavor and seasoning to the beef.
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese: Classic cheddar cheese melts perfectly to add that gooey, cheesy goodness.
- 4 cups frozen French fries: Use your favorite style—crinkle cut, steak fries, or shoestring fries all work well.
- 1/2 cup ketchup: Gives a slight tang and sweetness that’s essential to the cheeseburger experience.
- 1/4 cup mustard: For a bit of zing and to balance the richness of the cheese.
- 1/2 cup pickles, diced (optional): Adds a crunchy, tangy element that’s reminiscent of classic cheeseburgers.
- 1/4 cup diced onions (optional): For added flavor and crunch.
- Salt and pepper to taste: For seasoning the beef mixture.
