  1. 1

    Prepare the Patties

    In a mixing bowl, shape the ground beef into 4 equal patties, making a small indentation in the center of each.

  2. 2

    Grill the Patties

    Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Grill the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness.

  3. 3

    Add Cheese

    During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and close the grill or cover the skillet to melt the cheese.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Buns

    Toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burgers

    Place the cooked patties on the bottom half of the buns. Top with lettuce, sliced tomato, and onion. Add ketchup and mustard to taste, then cover with the top half of the bun.

    Cook the French Fries

    Follow the instructions on the frozen French fries packaging to bake or fry them until golden and crispy.
