Description
The Cheeseburger French Fry Casserole is a celebration of classic American flavors, a dish that captures the essence of a backyard barbecue in every bite. With its foundation of juicy ground beef enriched with cream of mushroom soup and a hint of steak sauce, it creates a savory, meaty base that’s both rich and comforting. The crispy crinkle-cut fries layered on top add a delightful crunch and potato-y sweetness, contrasting beautifully with the beef below. A generous topping of melted cheddar cheese blankets the casserole, adding a creamy, gooey texture and a punch of flavor.
Ingredients
20-ounce bag frozen crinkle-cut French fries
2 pounds lean ground beef
2 10.5 oz cans of cream of mushroom soup
2 teaspoons steak sauce
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
For Serving (optional):
Pickles
Shredded lettuce
Chopped tomatoes
Chopped onions
Instructions
Preheat Oven & Prepare Baking Sheet: Set your oven to 375°F and lightly grease a baking sheet.
Cook French Fries: Spread the French fries on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes, or until they reach your desired crispiness.
Make the Casserole Base: While fries are baking, brown the ground beef in a skillet and drain any excess fat. Mix in the cream of mushroom soup and steak sauce, simmering for 2-3 minutes. Spread this beef mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Assemble the Casserole: Layer the baked French fries over the beef mixture, then sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese.
Bake: Place the casserole in the oven for about 10 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the casserole is bubbling.
Serve: Enjoy hot, with optional toppings like pickles, shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, and chopped onions if desired.
