1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).

2. Arrange French fries in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes until crispy and golden.

3. While fries bake, cook ground beef and diced onion in a skillet over medium-high heat until beef is browned and onion is soft, about 5-7 minutes.

5. Stir in ketchup, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Remove from heat.

6. Transfer the cooked fries to a large casserole dish.

7. Spread the beef mixture evenly over the fries.

8. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese generously on top.

10. Remove from oven and top with diced tomatoes and chopped parsley or chives.

11. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

For the crispiest results, bake or fry the fries until they’re extra golden before layering.

Swap the cheddar for a cheese blend for a different flavor twist.

Add bacon bits, pickles, or jalapeños for extra burger-inspired toppings.
