Method

Burgers

  1. 1

    Prepare the beef patties

    In a mixing bowl, combine 1 pound of ground beef with 1 tsp of salt and 1 tsp of black pepper. Mix gently to avoid overworking the meat, then form into 4 equal 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, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. During 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, lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

Toppings

  1. 4

    Prepare the toppings

    Wash and chop the lettuce into bite-sized pieces. Slice the tomato and onion into thin rings. Set all toppings aside for assembly.

Fries

  1. 5

    Prepare the potatoes

    Peel and cut the russet potatoes into thin strips for fries. Rinse them in cold water and pat dry with paper towels.

  2. 6

    Fry the potatoes

    In a deep fryer or large pot, heat 4 cups of vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Carefully add the potato strips in batches, frying until golden brown and crispy, about 5-6 minutes. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels, then sprinkle with salt to taste.

Assembly

  1. 7

    Assemble the burgers

    On the bottom half of each bun, place a cooked beef patty with melted cheese. Top with lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickles. Add ketchup, mustard, and mayo to taste, then place the top half of the bun on.

  2. 8

    Serve

    Serve the assembled burgers alongside the crispy fries. Enjoy your homemade Five Guys experience!
