Method

Burger Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Burger Patties

    In a bowl, season the ground beef (or Impossible meat) with salt and black pepper. Mix gently and form into two equal-sized patties.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

    In a 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 Cooper's American cheese on top of each patty to melt.

  3. 3

    Toast the Buns

    While the patties are cooking, you can toast the burger buns in the skillet until golden brown.

Assembly

  1. 4

    Assemble the Burger

    On the bottom half of each toasted bun, place a cooked patty with melted cheese. Top with sliced onions and pickles, and cover with the top half of the bun.

Fries Preparation

  1. 5

    Cook the Fries

    Preheat oven according to package instructions for the fries. Spread the frozen fries on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt. Bake according to package directions until crispy.
