Cooking Instructions

Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
Spread out the frozen fries on a baking sheet in a single layer and bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Season the cold ground beef generously with kosher salt and pepper. Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Divide the seasoned beef into six equal pieces and place them into the hot skillet, pressing down to form thin patties. Cook for about 2 minutes on each side.
Once the fries are baked, transfer them to an oven-safe platter. Drizzle with cheese sauce and layer the burger patties over the fries. Add more cheese sauce on top.
Return the dish to the oven for 5-10 minutes to warm it through and meld flavors.
Remove from the oven and drizzle with Thousand Island dressing, then add pickles and jalapeños before serving.
