Cheeseburger and Fries Casserole

What an easy recipe. Very American I have to say.

Ingredients

• 1 pound lean ground beef or turkey
• salt and pepper to taste
• garlic powder to taste
• burger seasoning to taste
• a few shakes of Worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cheddar cheese soup
• 3/4 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
• 1/2 (16 ounce) package frozen French fries
• 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Preparation

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Bake french fries on baking sheet for 10 minutes while preparing beef.
• In a skillet over medium-high heat, brown the beef. Cook, stirring occasionally until beef is no longer pink. Drain off excess grease, and add seasonings and Worcestershire sauce.
• Return to the heat, and stir in the mushroom and cheese soups until well blended. Heat through, and remove from stove. Transfer the mixture to a 8x8 inch baking dish. Cover the ground beef mixture with a layer of partially cooked French fries.
• Bake for 25 to 30 minutes in the preheated oven (mine took much less - maybe only 15 minutes?). When the fries are golden brown, remove the casserole from the oven, and sprinkle cheese over the top. Return to the oven, and bake just until cheese has melted.

Next Time- I used Restaurant Style fries that were good, but they were kinda flimsy. I'd try using sturdier fries, or even waffle fries next time. This had a really good flavor, and was super easy to put together. Some frozen veggies mixed in with the meat wouldn't be a bad thing.
