Cheeseburger French Fry Casserole 🍔🍟

Step 3: Prepare the Cheese Mixture

In a medium bowl, combine:

Cream of mushroom soup
Milk
1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese

Mix well until smooth. This will create a creamy, cheesy sauce that binds the casserole together.

Step 4: Layer the Casserole

Spread half of the frozen French fries on the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Spoon the cooked beef and onion mixture evenly over the fries.
Pour the cheese mixture on top, spreading it evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of cheddar cheese over the casserole for that golden, bubbly finish.
Place the remaining French fries on top. This creates a crispy top layer that everyone loves.

Step 5: Bake to Perfection

Cover the casserole with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake for another 15–20 minutes, or until the fries are golden and the cheese is bubbly.

Step 6: Garnish and Serve

Let the casserole cool for 5–10 minutes before serving. Optional toppings:

Drizzle of ketchup or mustard
Pickles on the side
A sprinkle of fresh parsley for color
