03 - 1 teaspoon onion powder
04 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
05 - 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
06 - 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
07 - 1/2 yellow onion, chopped up

→ Burger Sauce

12 - Black pepper, shake in as you like
13 - 1/2 teaspoon onion, dried
14 - 1 teaspoon juice from pickles
15 - 1 tablespoon regular mustard
16 - 1/4 cup ketchup
17 - 1/2 cup mayo

# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - Pour that burger sauce all over your hot casserole right before you dig in.
02 - Grab a little bowl and just stir together mayo, ketchup, mustard, a bit of pickle juice, those dried onions, and some black pepper until it’s smooth.
03 - Pop the whole thing in the oven until the top is bubbly and the cheese has melted—should only take about 10 to 15 minutes.
04 - Scoop your meaty mix into a 7x11 dish, lay the crispy fries over everything, and then toss the shredded cheese on top.
05 - Mix in both soups with the beef blend and stir it around until it all comes together.
06 - Toss beef and onion in a big skillet on medium-high and cook ‘til browned up. Stir in garlic for about half a minute. Sprinkle those seasonings and salt and pepper over it all, then drain away any extra grease.
07 - Set your oven to 350°F and give it a couple minutes to get hot.
08 - Fire up your air fryer and crisp up those fries just like it says on the bag, then put them aside.

# Additional Notes:

01 - Want it crunchier? Just throw on some chopped pickles or a pinch of parsley right before you eat.
