Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef Patties

    In a large bowl, season the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Shape the seasoned beef into two equal patties.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

    Heat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Place the patties on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.

  3. 3

    Add Cheese

    In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty to melt.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Buns

    While the patties are cooking, toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burgers

    Spread ketchup and mustard on the bottom half of each bun. Place the lettuce, the cooked beef patty with melted cheese, and sliced tomato on top. Add pickles as desired and then cover with the top half of the bun.

  6. 6

    Cook the French Fries

    In a separate pan, heat cooking oil over medium heat. Add the French fries and cook until golden brown and crispy, about 4-6 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  7. 7

    Serving

    Serve the cheeseburgers with a side of crispy French fries. Enjoy your delicious cheeseburger basket!
