Notes

Use crinkle-cut or shoestring fries for a crispier texture.
Make ahead by assembling the casserole and refrigerating up to 24 hours before baking.
Swap ground beef with ground turkey or plant-based meat for a lighter or vegetarian option.
Add jalapeños or hot sauce for a spicy twist.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for 3–4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
