Loaded Cheese Fries Beef

Step-by-Step Instructions

Prep the Potatoes:
Bake the frozen fries at four hundred twenty five degrees Fahrenheit on a large sheet pan for twenty to twenty five minutes Flip halfway through for best crispiness You can also use freshly cut potatoes just soak them in cold water then pat dry to remove excess starch before baking

Brown the Beef:
In a skillet on medium heat cook your ground beef until no pink remains Break it up as you go Stir in paprika garlic powder salt and pepper once mostly cooked Continue cooking until browned and crumbled then drain any extra fat to keep your fries from getting soggy

Layer the Foundation:
Move your hot crispy fries into an oven safe dish Scatter shredded cheddar evenly then spoon the hot cooked beef over the cheese

Melt the Cheese:
Return the dish to your hot oven for about five minutes or just until the cheddar is fully melted and bubbling This step brings all your flavors together and ensures gooey cheesy goodness in every bite

Top and Finish:
Drizzle your fries generously with sour cream then scatter red onion tomatoes if using and fresh chopped herbs right on top for brightness Serve right away while everything is hot and melty
