Ingredients
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- ¼ cup dill pickle relish
- 3 tablespoon ketchup
- 3 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 4 garlic cloves minced
- 1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 24 ounce bag frozen French fries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Cook the ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat until it's no longer pink, breaking it into crumbles as it cooks. Drain the grease.
- In a small bowl, stir together the dill pickle relish, ketchup, mustard, garlic, and cream of mushroom soup until well combined.
- Transfer the cooked ground beef to the prepared baking dish, spreading it into an even layer.
- Spread the ketchup and mustard sauce evenly over the ground beef mixture.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
- Arrange the frozen French fries in an even layer over the cheddar cheese.
- Bake for about 40 minutes, or until the French fries are golden brown and crispy. Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes, then serve warm.
Notes
- Don't thaw the French fries. Add them straight from the freezer so they bake up golden and crispy.
- Drain the ground beef well to keep the casserole from becoming greasy.
- For crispier fries, broil the casserole for 2-3 minutes after baking, watching carefully.
- Prep ahead: Assemble the casserole up to 24 hours in advance, cover, and refrigerate. Add a few extra minutes to the baking time if baking straight from the refrigerator.
- Soup substitutions: Cream of cheddar, cream of chicken, or cream of onion soup all work well in place of cream of mushroom soup.
- Storage: Refrigerate leftovers for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
