Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 lbs ground beef
- 1 lb french fries
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Toppings:
- 1/2 cup diced onions
- 1/4 cup diced pickles
- 1/3 cup chopped bacon
Condiments and Seasonings:
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 2 tbsp mustard
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp chopped green onions
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F and arrange french fries on a large baking sheet in a single layer for crispy texture.
- Season ground beef with salt and black pepper, then brown in a large skillet over medium-high heat until fully cooked and no pink remains.
- Drain excess fat from the ground beef and set aside while maintaining warmth.
- Bake french fries according to package instructions until golden and crisp, approximately 20-25 minutes.
- Remove fries from oven and immediately top with cooked ground beef, creating an even layer across the surface.
- Generously sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the beef and return to oven for 3-4 minutes until cheese melts completely.
- Quickly distribute crispy bacon pieces, diced onions, and pickles across the melted cheese layer.
- Drizzle ketchup and mustard in zigzag patterns over the loaded fries for additional flavor.
- Garnish with chopped green onions as a fresh, vibrant finishing touch.
- Serve immediately while hot and cheese remains gooey, directly from the baking sheet for maximum appeal.
Notes
- Ensure fries are spread in a single layer to guarantee maximum crispiness and even baking.
- Pat ground beef dry before cooking to achieve perfect browning and prevent excess moisture.
- Use high-quality sharp cheddar cheese for deeper, more intense flavor profile.
- Replace traditional beef with plant-based ground meat for vegetarian-friendly version, maintaining same cooking technique.
