Cheeseburger French Fry Bake

Ingredients:

2 pounds ground beef

28 ounce bag shoestring French fries

10.5 ounce can cream of mushroom soup

10.5 ounce can cheddar cheese soup

1/2 yellow onion, diced

1 tablespoon minced garlic

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt, to taste

Black pepper, to taste

→ Burger Sauce

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1/4 cup ketchup

1 tablespoon mustard

1 teaspoon pickle juice

1/2 teaspoon dehydrated onions

Black pepper, to taste

Instructions:

Preheat the air fryer and cook the French fries as directed on the package until crispy. Set aside.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (177°C).

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef and diced onion until the meat is fully cooked. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional 30–45 seconds. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Drain excess fat.

Stir in cream of mushroom soup and cheddar cheese soup with the beef mixture. Mix until evenly combined.

Transfer the beef and soup mixture into a 7×11 inch casserole dish. Evenly layer the cooked French fries on top and sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese.

Place the casserole dish in the oven and bake for 10–15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, pickle juice, dehydrated onions, and black pepper until smooth.

Drizzle the burger sauce over the baked casserole just before serving.
