A comforting, crowd-pleasing twist on classic cheeseburgers and fries—everything combined in one hearty, easy-to-make bake. Cheeseburger French Fry Bake

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I absolutely adore this dish because it's complete comfort food in a single pan. The juicy beef soaked in cheesy, creamy sauce, crispy fries on top, and gooey melted cheddar—what's not to love? I often make it for busy weeknights since it cooks quickly and always brings smiles. Plus, it’s easy to customize for picky eaters or casual gatherings.

ingredients

(Here's a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

  • 2 pounds lean ground beef

  • ½ medium onion, chopped

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • Garlic powder to taste

  • 1 (10.75 oz) can condensed golden mushroom soup

  • 1 (10.75 oz) can condensed cheddar cheese soup

  • 1 (16 oz) package frozen French fries

  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. In a skillet over medium-high heat, I brown the ground beef with chopped onion until no pink remains and the onion is tender. Then I drain any excess grease and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

  3. I stir in both cans of condensed soups until the mixture is well blended and heated through.

  4. I transfer the beef mixture to a 9×13-inch baking dish, then layer the frozen fries evenly over the top.

  5. I bake for 25–30 minutes, until the fries are golden and crispy.

  6. I sprinkle the cheddar cheese over the fries, return it to the oven for a few more minutes until the cheese is melted, and it's ready to serve.

Servings and timing

  • Serves: 8

  • Prep time: 20 minutes

  • Cook time: 25–30 minutes

  • Total time: About 50 minutes

Variations

  • I sometimes swap one of the soups for cream of mushroom if I want a milder, creamier taste.

  • For a classic burger flair, I like to add a little ketchup and mustard into the beef mixture before baking.

  • Tater tots can be used instead of French fries for a different texture.

  • A sprinkle of diced pickles or tomatoes on top before serving adds a fresh bite.

storage/reheating

I store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 4 days. To reheat, I prefer using the oven at 350°F until everything is warmed through and the fries get crispy again. The microwave works too, but the fries will be softer.

FAQs

Can I double or halve this recipe?

I sure can. It’s easy to adjust the portions. I just make sure to use the right-sized baking dish to avoid overflow.

Do the fries go in frozen or thawed?

I always use fries straight from the freezer. They cook perfectly crisp that way.

Can I use homemade fries?

Yes, homemade oven-baked fries work great. I just make sure they’re fully cooked before topping the casserole.

Can I make it ahead of time?

I sometimes prepare the beef and soup mixture in advance and refrigerate it. When ready to bake, I add the fries and pop it in the oven.

Is it possible to freeze this bake?

Yes, I’ve frozen it after baking. I let it cool, portion it out, and store it in airtight containers. To reheat, I thaw it in the fridge and warm it in the oven.

Conclusion

This Cheeseburger French Fry Bake is my go-to when I want something satisfying and low-effort. With cheesy, creamy beef topped with crispy fries, it's a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. It’s also easy to tweak to my liking, making it a reliable favorite for weeknight dinners or weekend indulgence.
