Method

Burger Preparation

  1. 1

    Form the Patties

    In a bowl, combine ground beef with salt and black pepper. Mix gently and form into 4 equal-sized patties.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness. In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty to melt.

  3. 3

    Toast the Buns

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

Assemble the Burger

  1. 4

    Add Toppings

    On the bottom half of each bun, place a lettuce leaf followed by a slice of tomato. Add the cooked patty with melted cheese on top.

  2. 5

    Finish the Burger

    Top with ketchup and mustard to taste, then place the top half of the bun.

Prepare the Fries

  1. 6

    Cook the Fries

    In a deep fryer or large pot, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Add frozen french fries in batches and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  2. 7

    Season the Fries

    While the fries are still hot, sprinkle with salt to taste.
