1
Prepare the Fries
Cook the fries according to package instructions until golden and crispy. Season with salt and set aside.
2
Make the Burger Patties
In a bowl, season the ground beef with salt and pepper. Form into two equal-sized patties. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing while cooking.
3
Cook the Patties
Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the burger patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they reach your desired doneness. Place a slice of cheese on each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.
4
Toast the Buns
While the patties are cooking, toast the burger buns on the grill or in a separate skillet until golden brown.
5
Assemble the Burger
Spread a generous amount of smoked onion mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun. Place the cooked patty with melted cheese on top, followed by lettuce, tomato slices, and the top bun.
6
Serve
Serve the Capitol Burger with a side of crispy fries.
