1
Prepare the Fries
Preheat the oven or fryer according to the instructions for the French fries. If using frozen fries, spread them evenly on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Bake or fry until golden and crispy, about 20-25 minutes.
2
Form the Burger Patties
In a bowl, season the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Divide the beef into two equal portions and form each portion into a round patty, about 3/4 inch thick.
3
Cook the Burgers
Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness is reached. In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty to melt.
4
Assemble the Burger
Toast the burger buns lightly on the grill or in a toaster. On the bottom half of each bun, layer lettuce, the cooked beef patty with melted cheese, and sliced tomato. Top with the other half of the bun.
5
Serve
Serve the burgers hot alongside a generous portion of crispy French fries.
