Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the frozen crispy fries in an even layer and bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  2. While the fries are baking, season your ground beef with kosher salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Optionally, add a bit of butter or oil for extra browning. Divide the beef into even portions and press each into thin patties. Cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side.
  3. Arrange the fries on an oven-safe platter. Drizzle cheese sauce over the fries and crumble cooked beef patties on top. Add more cheese sauce and return to the oven for 5-10 minutes.
  4. Once the cheese has melted, drizzle the special sauce over the loaded fries. Add toppings like pickles, jalapeños, or diced onions. Serve warm.
