Assembly Directions:
Put the raw hamburger in the pan, patting it to evenly cover the bottom. Sprinkle the desired amount of onion salt, salt and pepper on top of the hamburger. Dump the frozen French fries on top of the meat. Pour the soup over the fries. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.

Freezing Directions:
Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the cooled casserole, or put it in a freezer bag to be added on serving day. Wrap the cooled casserole in plastic wrap and then foil, or put it in a one-gallon freezer bag. Seal, label and freeze.

Serving Directions:
Thaw at least overnight in the refrigerator. Unwrap the casserole, and if you haven’t already, add the shredded cheese. Heat at 350 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes, or until heated through.

Tammy’s Comments:
You can use one family size can of Cream of Mushroom soup (about 26 oz.) instead of two of the smaller cans if you like more sauce with your recipes. You could also use other flavors of Cream soup, like Celery. Lisa, our recipe submitter, said she hadn’t used Cheddar Cheese soup with this recipe, but I bet that would be really good too. This is a quick dish to put together, and could very easily be mass-produced.
