Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups frozen French fries or homemade baked fries
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese or your preferred melting cheese
  • 4 slices pickles sliced into thin rounds
  • 1/2 lb ground beef for mini burger patties or crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup optional

Equipment

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread the frozen French fries evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15-20 minutes until crispy and golden brown, flipping halfway through for even cooking.
  2. Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and season with salt and pepper. Cook, breaking apart with a spatula, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

  3. Once fries are ready, transfer them to a serving platter. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the hot fries, allowing it to melt for about 2-3 minutes. You can also briefly return to the oven or microwave to encourage melting.
