# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Use your air fryer to cook those fries following the pack directions, then set the fries on the side.
02 -
Turn the oven up to 350°F and wait for it to come up to temperature.
03 -
Throw the ground beef and chopped onion in a big pan, cook over medium-high until the beef's cooked through. Mix in the garlic and let it sizzle for half a minute. Shake in onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to your liking. Drain off any fat if you see it.
04 -
Dump in both soups and give everything a good stir so it’s all together.
05 -
Spread your beefy mix in your casserole pan, cover everything with those fries, then top the lot with the shredded cheese.
06 -
Slide that dish in the oven. Leave it until the cheese's bubbling and the top’s nice and melty—should be about 10 or 15 minutes.
07 -
In a small bowl, mix together the mayo, ketchup, mustard, a dash of pickle juice, dried onion, and a little pepper until it's creamy and smooth.
08 -
Pour that special burger sauce over the hot dish just before serving up.
