Hamburger Casserole

Preheat the Oven: First, set your oven to 350°F.

Brown the Hamburger: Grab 1 ½ to 2 lbs of hamburger meat and toss it into a skillet over medium heat. As it cooks, channel your inner chef and pretend you’re on a cooking show. Stir it around until it’s browned and no longer looks like a shy pink blob. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Don’t forget to drain any excess fat—nobody wants a greasy surprise!

Combine the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the following:

1 can of cheddar cheese soup: Because cheese is life, and life is cheese!
2 cans of golden mushroom soup: This is the secret weapon for flavor. Think of it as the magical fairy dust of casseroles.
The browned hamburger: Add it to the party and mix everything together like you’re at a wild dance-off. Make sure it’s well combined—no one likes a wallflower at this shindig!

Prepare the Casserole Dish: Grab your trusty 9x13 casserole dish. If you want to be fancy, give it a light grease (like a spa day for your dish). Pour the glorious mixture in and spread it out evenly. It should look like a colorful abstract painting.

Add the French Fries: Open 1 bag of frozen French fries and sprinkle them on top like you’re adding confetti to a celebration. This will give your casserole that crunchy crown it deserves!

Bake the Casserole: Slide your masterpiece into the preheated oven. Set a timer for 1 hour, and take a moment to admire your creation. Remember to do a little happy dance while you wait!

Check for Doneness: After an hour, don’t forget to check if it’s bubbling and the fries are golden brown. If it’s looking a bit shy, bake for another 5-10 minutes. A golden crown is essential for royalty!

Serve the Casserole: Once it’s ready, carefully remove the dish from the oven (don’t burn your royal hands!). Let it cool for a few minutes, then scoop portions onto plates like you’re serving the royal family. Enjoy your delicious creation and bask in the glory of your culinary triumph! Bon appétit!
