CHEESEBURGER CASSEROLE| TASTY
I have a little confession … as much as i love fresh cut fries, i love me crispy frozen fries.
This is the perfect recipe for quick and easy dinner if your short on time. I yet to find someone that doesn’t love this cheeseburger casserole recipe.
THE SECRET TIP TO KEEP FRIES CRISPY IS BUY FROZEN CRISPY FRIES. I AM USING McCAIN STYLE BISTRO SUPER CRISPS.
For vegetables you can use what ever you or your family like i will be using peppers and onions. key is to dice them small.
For meat you can use what ever meat you like, i always tend to use extra lean ground beef. You can use chicken, pork or keep it vegetarian.
OPTIONAL but higly RECOMMENDED, finish this dish with topping it with fresh diced tomatoes and green onions.
I baked this dish for 5-7 minutes then i finished it off with broiling it for 1-2 minutes. KEEP AN EYE ON IT , so it doesn’t burn the final product should look golden with brown edges.
Lets talk cheese. The rule of thumb is to shred your own cheese, and i totally agree with that. BUT sometimes for a quick and easy option i use pre shredded cheese. For this recipe you can use a blend of cheeses. I am using mozzarella and cheddar cheese.

Cook for an additional 5-6 minutes then season with your favourite seasonings or add salt, pepper and garlic powder, then add your ketchup and mayo (this step is important as it keeps the meat juicy and moist during the cook in the oven, I seen other recipes where they use soups but I optioned out for ketchup and mayo as it’s a CHEESEBURGER)
