Ingredients

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

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F and arrange french fries on a large baking sheet in a single layer for crispy texture.
  2. 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.
  3. Drain excess fat from the ground beef and set aside while maintaining warmth.
  4. Bake french fries according to package instructions until golden and crisp, approximately 20-25 minutes.
  5. Remove fries from oven and immediately top with cooked ground beef, creating an even layer across the surface.
  6. Generously sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the beef and return to oven for 3-4 minutes until cheese melts completely.
  7. Quickly distribute crispy bacon pieces, diced onions, and pickles across the melted cheese layer.
  8. Drizzle ketchup and mustard in zigzag patterns over the loaded fries for additional flavor.
  9. Garnish with chopped green onions as a fresh, vibrant finishing touch.
  10. 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.
