#### For the Cheeseburger Toppings:
– **1 lb ground beef**
– **1 tablespoon olive oil**
– **Salt and pepper**, to taste
– **1 teaspoon garlic powder** (optional)
– **1 teaspoon onion powder** (optional)
– **1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese** (or American cheese, or a blend)

– **1/4 cup ketchup** (optional, for drizzle)
– **1/4 cup mustard** (optional, for drizzle)
– **2-3 slices of cooked bacon**, crumbled (optional, for added flavor)

### Directions

#### 1. **Prepare the Fries**:
– If using frozen French fries, cook them according to the package instructions. Alternatively, if you’re making homemade fries, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C), cut potatoes into fries, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt. Bake for about 30-40 minutes, flipping halfway, until they’re crispy and golden brown.
– Once cooked, set the fries aside and keep them warm.

#### 2. **Cook the Ground Beef**:
– While the fries are cooking, heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
– Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks.
– Season the beef with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Continue cooking for about 5-7 minutes until the beef is fully cooked through and nicely browned.

#### 3. **Assemble the Loaded Cheeseburger Fries**:
– Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) if you need to melt the cheese in the oven.
– Place your cooked fries on a large baking sheet or oven-safe dish, creating an even layer.
– Top the fries with the cooked ground beef, spreading it evenly across the fries.
– Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese generously over the beef and fries.
– Place the dish in the oven for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and is bubbling.

#### 4. **Add the Toppings**:
– Once the cheese is melted, remove the loaded fries from the oven.
– Top with your favorite cheeseburger toppings: diced pickles, onions, shredded lettuce, crumbled bacon, and a drizzle of ketchup and mustard for that classic cheeseburger flavor.
– If you like, you can also add a little extra cheese on top before serving for a truly cheesy experience.

5. **Serve and Enjoy**:
– Serve these Loaded Cheeseburger Fries immediately, while the cheese is gooey and the toppings are fresh.
– Enjoy them as a main dish for a hearty meal or as a shareable snack for a fun family night or party.
