Cheeseburger French Fry Casserole Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp ketchup
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 4 cups frozen French fries (about half a bag)
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 tbsp mustard (optional, for extra tang)
  • Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven
    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with a bit of cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.
  2. Cook the Ground Beef
    In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks. Once the beef is cooked through, drain any excess grease.
  3. Add the Flavors
    To the beef, add the chopped onion and garlic. Cook until the onion becomes soft and translucent (about 3-4 minutes). Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, salt, and pepper. If you’re using mustard, add it now too. Set the beef mixture aside.
  4. Prepare the Fries
    Spread the frozen French fries in an even layer in the prepared baking dish. You don’t need to thaw them—they’ll cook as the casserole bakes.
  5. Assemble the Casserole
    Spoon the cooked beef mixture evenly over the fries, spreading it out to cover them. Pour the milk over the top of the casserole, then spread the sour cream in dollops over the beef and fries. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses on top.
  6. Bake the Casserole
    Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the fries are golden and crispy. You can check the fries to ensure they’re cooked to your desired crispiness.
  7. Garnish and Serve
    Once baked, remove the casserole from the oven. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and freshness. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
