Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb frozen crinkle-cut or shoestring fries
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20 recommended)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup diced pickles
- ½ cup diced red onion
- ¼ cup ketchup (for drizzle)
- ¼ cup burger sauce or mayo (optional)
- Chopped lettuce and tomatoes for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread fries on a large baking sheet in a single layer. Bake according to package directions until golden and crispy.
- While fries bake, season ground beef with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Form into 6–8 small, thin patties.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef patties and smash them flat with a spatula. Cook 2-3 minutes per side until browned and crispy. Set aside.
- When fries are ready, remove the pan from the oven. Top evenly with cooked beef (broken into pieces), cheddar and mozzarella cheese, pickles, and diced onion.
- Return sheet pan to oven and bake for 5–7 more minutes, until cheese is fully melted.
- Drizzle with ketchup and burger sauce. Sprinkle with optional lettuce and tomatoes. Serve immediately.
