Cheesburger and Fries Pie

By JeanneAnne

Ingredients

• 3 cups frozen crinkle-cut French fried potatoes
• 1 Pillsbury™ Pet•Ritz™ frozen deep dish pie crust (from 12-oz package)
• 1 lb lean (at least 80%) ground beef
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• 1/2 cup ketchup
• 1 1/4 cups shredded medium Cheddar cheese (5 oz)

Preparation

Step 1

Heat oven to 400°F; place large rimmed cookie sheet in oven to preheat. Spread fries on one half of cookie sheet; prick crust several times on bottom and side, and place on other half of cookie sheet. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove crust from oven, leaving fries and cookie sheet in oven.

Meanwhile, in 10-inch skillet, cook beef and onion over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until beef is brown; drain. Stir in ketchup and 1 cup of the cheese. Spoon into crust, and top with remaining 1/4 cup cheese. Place pie back in oven on cookie sheet.

Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until cheese is melted and fries are crispy; stir fries midway through baking. Cover pie loosely with sheet of foil after first 15 minutes of baking. Remove cookie sheet from oven, and top pie with fries. Serve immediately
