Fries

Method

Preparing the Burger Patties

  1. 1

    Mix Ingredients

    In a bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until just combined; avoid overmixing.

  2. 2

    Form Patties

    Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape each portion into a patty approximately 1 inch thick.

Cooking the Bacon

  1. 3

    Cook Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess fat.

Cooking the Burger

  1. 4

    Grill or Pan-Fry Patties

    In the same skillet (or on a grill), cook the burger patties over medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until cooked to your desired doneness.

  2. 5

    Add Cheese

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

Preparing the Fries

  1. 6

    Cut Potatoes

    Wash and cut the potatoes into thin strips for fries.

  2. 7

    Season Fries

    In a bowl, toss the cut potatoes with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and paprika until evenly coated.

  3. 8

    Bake Fries

    Spread the fries in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake at 425°F (220°C) for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and golden.

Assembling the Burger

  1. 9

    Toast Buns

    While the fries are baking, you can toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

  2. 10

    Build Burger

    On the bottom half of each bun, layer lettuce, the cooked burger patty with melted cheese, bacon slices, tomato slices, pickles, ketchup, and mustard as desired. Top with the other half of the bun.
