Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 0.5 cup yellow onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 0.5 cup ketchup
• 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
• 2 tablespoons pickle relish
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 16 ounces frozen French fries
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0 pickle slices (optional, for garnish)
• 0 chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish lightly with olive oil or nonstick spray.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, add the diced onion and garlic, sautéing until softened and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until fully browned and crumbled, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease if necessary.

Step 4

Stir in the ketchup, mustard, pickle relish, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to combine the flavors.

Step 5

Transfer the beef mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out into an even layer.

Step 6

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the beef mixture.

Step 7

Top the casserole with a layer of frozen French fries, arranging them in a single layer as best as possible.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the fries are golden brown and crispy.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Optional: Garnish with pickle slices and chopped parsley for added flavor and presentation.
