Method
Burger Directions
- 1
Prepare the Burger Patties
In a mixing bowl, divide the ground beef into two equal portions (each about 1/2 pound). Shape each portion into a patty that is slightly larger than the burger buns, as they will shrink while cooking. Season both sides with salt and pepper.

Grill the Patties
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Place the burger patties on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side. Flip the patties, brush each with BBQ sauce, and place a slice of pepper jack cheese on top. Continue grilling for another 4-5 minutes until the cheese is melted and the burger is cooked to your desired doneness.

French Fries Directions

Prepare the Potatoes
Peel and cut the potatoes into thin strips to make fries. Rinse the strips in cold water to remove excess starch and pat them dry with paper towels.

Heat the Oil
In a deep fryer or a heavy pot, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add the potato strips to the hot oil in batches, avoiding overcrowding. Fry for about 4-5 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Remove the fries with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Season the Fries
While the fries are still hot, sprinkle with salt to taste and toss to coat evenly.
