Burger Patties

Cheeseburgers

Fries

Method

Prepare the Burger Patties

  1. 1

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently until just combined.

  2. 2

    Shape the Patties

    Divide the meat mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a mini patty, about 1/2 inch thick.

Cook the Fries

  1. 3

    Heat the Oil

    Preheat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large pot over medium-high heat.

  2. 4

    Fry the Fries

    Once the oil is hot, carefully add the frozen French fries in batches and fry until golden brown, about 3-5 minutes.

  3. 5

    Drain and Season

    Using a slotted spoon, remove the fries from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Season with salt to taste.

Cook the Burger Patties

  1. 6

    Grill the Patties

    Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the mini patties and cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side.

  2. 7

    Melt the Cheese

    Flip the patties and place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each one. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and the patties are cooked to your liking.

Assemble the Cheeseburgers

  1. 8

    Add the Patties

    Place each cooked mini patty on the bottom half of a mini burger bun.

  2. 9

    Finish Assembling

    Top each patty with a slice of pickle, a squirt of ketchup, and a squirt of mustard. Place the top half of the bun on each burger.

Serve

  1. 10

    Plate and Serve
