Ingredients
1 bag (26 oz) frozen crinkle-cut fries
1 lb ground beef
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons yellow mustard
3 tablespoons ketchup
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread fries in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for 20–25 minutes until golden and crispy.
2. While fries are baking, cook ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat until browned. Drain excess grease.
3. Season the beef with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
4. Transfer baked fries into a large baking dish. Spread the cooked beef evenly over the fries.
5. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese generously over the beef layer.
6. Return the dish to the oven and bake for 8–10 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
7. Remove from oven and drizzle ketchup and mustard over the top.
8. Garnish with parsley if using. Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
Bake fries until very crispy before layering to prevent sogginess.
Use a wide baking dish to evenly distribute toppings and avoid overcrowding.
Add pickles, onions, or jalapeños for a more authentic cheeseburger experience.
