Method

Burger Patty Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef Patty

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

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into patties, about 3/4 inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing during cooking.

Cooking the Patties

  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-rare, adding cheese in the last minute if desired.

Fries Preparation

  1. 4

    Prepare the Fries

    While the patties are cooking, heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C).

  2. 5

    Cook the Fries

    Add the frozen French fries to the hot oil in batches. Fry for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Season with salt to taste.

Assembling the Burger

  1. 6

    Toast the Buns

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

  2. 7

    Assemble the Burger

    Layer lettuce, cooked beef patty, tomato slices, and onion slices on the bottom half of the toasted bun. Top with the other half of the bun.
