Cheeseburger Casserole…aka Mock Hamburger Helper

Bake fries according to package directions until almost done – about 5-10 minutes before totally done. Then remove from oven and set aside.

While the fries are baking, start browning the ground beef, onion and garlic in a skillet over medium heat. Add in the diced bouillon cube, worcestershire sauce, garlic powder and cayenne. Taste – add in whatever makes you happy – salt, pepper, minced onion, hamburger seasoning – how ever you make your burgers. Continue cooking until beef is browned. Drain off grease.

In a large bowl mix together the sour cream, soup, American cheese, spinach and cooked pasta. Add the drained beef mixture to the sour cream mixture and stir to combine.

Pour into a 13×9 pan. Arrange the French fries on top, return to oven to finish cooking French fries (for the remaining 5-10 minutes at the temperature specified on the package – or cook until fries are to your liking).
