Gather your ingredients:

• 1 bag of frozen French fries
• 1 onion, finely diced
• 1/2 cup of mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons of ketchup
• 1 tablespoon of sweet relish
• 1/2 teaspoon of white vinegar
• 1/2 teaspoon of sugar
• 1 pound of ground beef
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Sliced American cheese
• Pickles, chopped
• Mustard

Let’s dive into the flavorful journey:

1. Prepare the Fries: Begin by preheating your oven and preparing the frozen French fries according to the package instructions. Once cooked, set them aside to cool slightly.
2. Create the Special Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, ketchup, sweet relish, white vinegar, and sugar. Stir well to blend the flavors, creating a tangy and creamy sauce.
3. Cook the Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the finely diced onion until caramelized. Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spoon. Season with salt and pepper, and cook until the beef is browned and cooked through. Drain any excess fat.
4. Assemble the Fries: Spread the cooked French fries on a baking sheet in an even layer. Place slices of American cheese on top of the fries. Place the baking sheet under the broiler for a few minutes, just until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
5. Final Touches: Remove the fries from the oven and carefully transfer them to a serving dish. Spoon the cooked ground beef and caramelized onions over the cheesy fries. Drizzle the special sauce over the top, ensuring each fry is coated with the delicious mixture. Sprinkle chopped pickles over the fries for an added layer of flavor. Finally, finish off with a drizzle of mustard for a zesty kick.
