# Required Ingredients:

→ Main Components

01 - 400 grams frozen French fries
02 - 680 grams lean ground beef
03 - 180 milliliters processed cheese sauce
04 - 305 grams condensed cream of mushroom soup

→ Vegetables and Seasonings

05 - 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
06 - 1/2 medium onion, finely chopped
07 - 1/2 bell pepper, diced
08 - Salt, to taste
09 - Black pepper, to taste

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat oven to 200°C. Lightly grease a 23x33 centimeter baking dish.
02 - Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook, stirring to break up any clumps, until well browned. Drain excess fat.
03 - Add chopped onion and diced bell pepper to the browned beef. Sauté for 3–4 minutes until vegetables are softened.
04 - Add condensed cream of mushroom soup to the skillet. Stir to combine. Season the mixture with salt and black pepper as desired. Reduce heat and let it simmer for 2 minutes.
05 - Transfer processed cheese sauce to a microwave-safe bowl. Heat on low power for about 30 seconds or until smooth and pourable.
06 - Spread the beef and vegetable mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish. Drizzle the melted cheese sauce over the top.
07 - Arrange frozen French fries in a single, even layer on top of the cheese.
08 - Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the fries are golden and crisp. Allow to cool for several minutes before serving.

# Additional Information:

01 - For a balanced meal, pair with a light green salad or steamed seasonal vegetables. Letting the dish rest briefly post-baking aids in maintaining its structure when serving.
