A WHOLE MEAL IN A CASSEROLE DISH!
What’s extra American than a cheeseburger and fries? Okay, properly possibly apple pie. However what if we took the 2 and smashed them collectively into one easy-to-serve (and eat!) casserole! That’s precisely what I did right here. All the flavour with out the bun!
I made this tonight for my household and it was a success! Thanks a lot for sharing this very artistic recipe! I might’ve by no means considered including the eggs, combined with mayo and milk- as an alternative of the ” cream of one thing” soup. And the pickle addition undoubtedly elevated it ( I like pickles)! ❤ I’ll be making this once more for positive!

Completely! I like how the shoestring fries cooked up on this. However in the event you desire crinkle fries or seasoned fries, then by all means use these.
I do know garlic isn’t in a typical cheeseburger. Nevertheless, I like the flavour it provides right here however you’ll be able to definitely skip it if you’d like. Don’t like pickles? You’ll be able to depart them out.
Look, you’re cooking. You are able to do no matter you need. You don’t must ask my permission. In case you like a special sort of floor meat: sausage, venison, turkey, hen or no matter – then use it in the event you take pleasure in it.
Completely! You a by no means go unsuitable with including bacon! Simply prepare dinner it up first then crumble it. I might most likely add it as a topping whenever you add the final layer of cheese on high since you most likely need it to remain crunchy.
I have a tendency to make use of cheddar or American cheese probably the most. However you’ll be able to actually play with this recipe and use shredded gouda, mozzarella, provolone or a Mexican cheese mix.
Sure. You would freeze earlier than baking. Then bake from frozen. You will have so as to add on further cooking time if cooking from frozen although. I haven’t examined it but so that you’ll must play with the cooking time.
INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (SEE RECIPE CARD BELOW FOR THE FULL RECIPE)
- floor beef – you should use floor pork, turkey or hen.
- garlic – I desire contemporary garlic because it provides the very best taste however the jared stuff can be utilized in a pinch.
- dill pickle – don’t like pickle? Simply depart it out. O
- eggs – these are used as a binder to carry it collectively.
- mayonnaise – you don’t style the mayonnaise as a separate ingredient, it simply provides a contact of creaminess.

- frozen French fries – you should use your favourite fries, I simply wouldn’t use something too thick or they could take loads longer to prepare dinner. Attempt to use a thinner, quick meals type, fry if potential.
