Method

Burger Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef Patties

    In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently until combined.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the mixture into two equal portions (8 oz each) and shape them into patties. Make a slight indent in the center of each patty to prevent puffing up during cooking.

Cooking the Burger

  1. 3

    Cook the Patties

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side. Flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes for medium doneness.

  2. 4

    Add Cheese

    In the last minute of cooking, place cheese on each patty and cover to melt.

Bun Preparation

  1. 5

    Toast the Buns

    While the burgers are cooking, slice the brioche buns in half and toast them on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

Fries Preparation

  1. 6

    Prepare the Fries

    Preheat the oven according to package instructions for the frozen fries. Mix olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, and salt in a bowl.

  2. 7

    Cook the Fries

    Toss the frozen fries in the oil mixture, then spread them on a baking sheet. Bake according to package instructions until crispy.

Assembly

  1. 8

    Assemble the Burger

    On the bottom half of each toasted brioche bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the burger patty with melted cheese, then add tomato slices and pickles. Drizzle with ketchup and mustard as desired. Top with the other half of the bun.

  2. 9

    Serve

    Serve the assembled burgers with a side of hot, seasoned fries.
