Description

Loaded Cheese Fries Beef is a deliciously indulgent dish featuring crispy fries topped with seasoned ground beef, melted cheddar cheese, and fresh toppings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 bag frozen French fries or 4 large russet potatoes, cut into fries
  • 1/2 pound ground beef
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup diced red onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley or green onions

Instructions

  1. Set oven to 425°F to ensure an even, hot temperature for crisping the fries.
  2. Arrange the French fries in a single layer on a sheet pan. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown and crisp.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook, breaking up with a spoon, until browned. Sprinkle with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until beef is fully cooked. Drain any excess fat.
  4. Transfer baked fries to an oven-safe dish. Evenly scatter shredded cheddar cheese over fries, then distribute the cooked beef mixture on top.
  5. Return the dish to the oven and bake for 5 minutes or until the cheese is fully melted.
  6. Drizzle sour cream over the hot loaded fries. Sprinkle diced red onion, chopped tomatoes, and parsley or green onions over the top.
  7. Present loaded cheese fries promptly while hot for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, add jalapeños or hot sauce.
  • Feel free to customize the toppings based on your preferences.
  • Ensure to check the fries frequently to prevent burning.
