Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In your skillet, add the ground beef over medium heat. Season it with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Cook for 6-7 minutes until browned and no pink remains.
  3. Stir in ketchup, mustard, and mayonnaise, mixing well. If using, add diced onions and pickles now.
  4. Spread frozen French fries in your greased baking dish. Pour the beef mixture over the fries, covering them evenly.
  5. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the casserole, ensuring complete coverage.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly, and fries are crisping at the edges.
  7. Let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
