Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef, onion, and garlic until the beef is browned and the onions are softened.
  3. Drain any excess fat, then stir in ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  4. Spread the frozen French fries evenly in the prepared baking dish.
  5. Spoon the beef mixture over the fries in an even layer.
  6. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the beef layer.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the fries are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
