Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and spread frozen crispy fries evenly across a baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  2. While the fries bake, season ground beef with kosher salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add butter or oil if desired.
  3. Divide seasoned beef into six equal portions. Press into thin patties on the skillet and cook undisturbed for 1-2 minutes until crust forms. Flip and brown other side.
  4. Transfer finished fries to an oven-safe platter in a single layer.
  5. Pour cheese sauce over hot fries, then place burger patties on top.
  6. Return loaded fries to oven for 5-10 minutes until cheese is melted.
  7. Drizzle with thousand island dressing and top with pickles and jalapeños. Serve and enjoy!
