How to Make Cheeseburger Fries

Bake fries in oven according to package directions
- Skinny Fries were 450º for 9-12 min
While fries are baking, heat large skillet on medium-high heat on stovetop
Add hamburger to skillet and sprinkle with seasoning salt. Brown until no longer pink. Drain any excess grease from the pan.
Add cheese slices to top of ground beef. Turn heat off and place lid on the skillet to melt the cheese.
Remove fries from oven and plate on a large platter.
Using a spatula, top fries with cheeseburger mixture.
Drizzle fries with a heavy dose of fry sauce and load this dish with lettuce, tomatoes, red onion, dill pickle and a little more fry sauce!

Tips, Tricks & FAQs

What kind of fries should I use for cheese burger fries?

You can use whatever you like! I like skinny fries but crinkle fries would be great!

Can I use shredded cheddar cheese?

Sure! I just love American cheese. I still recommend melting it onto the hamburger so it really gets that cheeseburger feeling.

How do you store and reheat leftover cheeseburger fries?

Store leftovers in airtight containers and refrigerate up to a week. Reheat in the air fryer (if you have one) at 250º for 5 minutes. You’ll likely want to remove any lettuce on the fries before refrigerating.

Variations for Cheeseburger Fries

Healthier – Swap out and use ground turkey if you’re wanting to make it a little healthier.
Bacon – Nothing makes a cheeseburger better than bacon. Cook a few slices and crumble on top!
Spicy – Swap and use pepper jack cheese and add pickled jalapenos and a little sriracha for a spicy kick!
Cheese Sauce – looking for a cheese sauce instead? I have the best cheese sauce that would be delicious on these fries!
