1-Getting started: Getting started with this French Fry Casserole is a breeze, and you’ll love how it turns out every time. Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F to ensure everything bakes just right. This step sets the stage for a crispy, golden finish that makes the dish so appealing.

2-Next, in a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the 2 pounds of lean ground beef until it’s fully cooked. Once that’s done, add the 1 cup of diced yellow onions and 1 cup of diced green peppers, cooking them until they soften. Be sure to drain any excess grease to keep things light.

3-Season the mixture with the 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of pepper, and 1 tablespoon of garlic powder for that extra zing. Stir in the 10.5 ounces of condensed cheddar cheese soup and 10.5 ounces of condensed cream of mushroom soup until everything is well combined. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish and spread the beef and soup mixture evenly inside.

4-Sprinkle the 1 cup of shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese blend over the beef mixture to create a gooey layer. Arrange the 20 ounces of frozen crinkle cut fries evenly on top of the cheese. Bake for 55 minutes, or until the fries are golden and crispy.

5-If you want an extra touch, sprinkle the fries with the 1/2 teaspoon of seasoned salt and 1/2 teaspoon of parsley flakes. Broil for a few minutes to crisp them up more, but keep an eye on it to avoid any mishaps. Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before serving so it sets nicely.
