Description

Crispy French fries topped with gooey cheddar cheese and savory ground beef, finished with sour cream, green onions, and jalapeños.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb frozen French fries
  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • 1/4 cup sliced jalapeños (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven according to package instructions for the frozen fries (typically 425°F).
  2. Spread the fries on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes until crispy.
  3. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef seasoned with salt and pepper for 5-7 minutes until browned.
  4. Once fries are golden, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over them and return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes until cheese is melted.
  5. Layer the cooked beef over the cheesy fries.
  6. Top with sour cream, green onions, and jalapeños, if desired.
  7. Serve immediately on a platter or plates.

Notes

For a lighter option, consider sweet potato fries or a plant-based cheese alternative.
