Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1/4 cup mustard
- 2 cups frozen French fries (thick cut)
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup pickles, chopped (optional)
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.
- Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook for 6-8 minutes, until browned and cooked through. Drain any excess fat.
- Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Add ketchup and mustard, and mix well to combine. Remove from heat.
- Spread the frozen French fries evenly in the prepared baking dish.
- Layer the seasoned ground beef mixture on top of the French fries, spreading it out evenly.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the beef mixture, ensuring it covers the entire casserole.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the fries are crispy.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Top with chopped pickles and fresh parsley, if desired, for an extra touch of flavor and freshness.
