Burgers

Method

Burgers

  1. 1

    Prepare the patties

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with salt and pepper. Form into 4 equal patties.

  2. 2

    Cook the patties

    Heat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness. Add a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each patty during the last minute of cooking.

  3. 3

    Toast the buns

    Lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

  4. 4

    Assemble the burgers

    On the bottom half of each bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the cooked patty with cheese, tomato slices, pickles, and your choice of ketchup and mustard. Top with the other half of the bun.

Fries

  1. 5

    Prepare the fries

    Preheat the oven according to the package instructions for the frozen fries. Spread the fries on a baking sheet.

  2. 6

    Bake the fries

    Drizzle vegetable oil over the fries and sprinkle with salt. Bake in the preheated oven for the time specified on the package, usually around 20-25 minutes, until crispy and golden.

Drinks

  1. 7

    Serve the drinks

    Pour the soft drink of your choice into cups and serve alongside the burgers and fries.
