"This is a simple recipe that is really good, kids of all ages enjoy this, my DH loves this! to save time you can use frozen fries, I use recipe#139851 I prefer homemade to frozen. You can really season your ground beef anyway you desired, I like to add in a green bell pepper and jalapeno for some heat."

My husband & I just made this. We both LOVE it! I did add some potato to fill the sheet. I did leave peels on. I did have to use a whole bottle of BBQ sauce because I had extra thick sauce. We did not use the jalapeno. One cup of cheese was plenty but my husband added more cause he is a cheese lover. THANK YOU for another wonderful ground beef recipe!

I made this last night half liked it and half did not. I think the problem was that I used frozen french fries. I may try it again with potatoes. Sorry!

Cheese fries with ground beef, what's not to like? It is very good - a real kid pleaser yet adults should love this, too! I cheated and used frozen french fries. I omitted the jalapeno pepper, but I'm sure it would be great if you want it spicy. I used a honey barbecue sauce and it was very tasty. This is great for those nights when you want something quick but filling.
