Instructions

1. Bake the Fries: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread the fries in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Bake until they are extra crispy (usually 3–5 minutes longer than the package says).
2. Cook the Beef: While the fries bake, brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat. Drain the excess fat. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
3. Mix the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together all the sauce ingredients. Let it sit in the fridge for 10 minutes to let the flavors “marry.”
4. The Meltdown: Once the fries are crispy, pile the seasoned beef on top and sprinkle generously with cheese. Pop the tray back into the oven for 2–3 minutes until the cheese is bubbling and gooey.
5. Final Assembly: Remove from the oven. Top with the shredded lettuce, diced onions, and pickles. Drizzle the Secret Mac Sauce all over the top. Finish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
