Cheeseburger and Fries Casserole

May 13

We love a good tater tot casserole, but in this recipe you use fries in place of the tater tots and oh-my-goodness it’s DELICIOUS! We actually prefer this over tater tot casserole now….who knew it would be such a huge hit at our house?

This recipe makes about 8 servings.

Notes for this recipe - You don’t have to use the crinkle cut fries, but Carol recommends it because they don’t get as hard as skinnier fries tend to. I added minced garlic to my meat as it browned. Go crazy with your toppings…it’s just like a cheeseburger!!

Ingredients

2 lbs ground beef
1/2 med onion, diced
1 can golden mushroom soup
1 can cheddar cheese soup
1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
16 oz pkg of frozen french fries
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
bacon (optional)
salt & pepper to taste
garlic powder to taste

Here’s how to make it

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 9x13 baking dish and set aside.
Brown ground beef and onion together. (If adding bacon, now is the time to do that too!) Once fully cooked, drain any grease.
Add seasonings (as desired), Worcestershire sauce, and the canned soups. Mix until fully combined.
Pour meat mixture into prepared baking dish. Top with 1 cup of cheese and then finally top with frozen fries.
Bake at 375, uncovered, for 20 minutes.
Top with remaining cheese and put it back in the oven until it’s melted.
Serve with your choice of toppings!
