Total Time: 45 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 bag frozen French fries
- 1/4 cup diced onions
- 1/4 cup pickles
- Ketchup and mustard for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Spread the frozen French fries out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until crispy and golden brown, flipping halfway through.
- While the French fries are baking, divide the ground beef into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a ball. Flatten each ball slightly into a patty.
- In a large skillet, cook the patties over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked to desired level of doneness.
- Once the patties are cooked, assemble the burgers by spreading a layer of ketchup on the bottom bun, followed by a cooked patty, a few slices of crumbled bacon, a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese, a spoonful of diced onions, and a spoonful of pickles. Top with the top bun.
- Once the French fries are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
- To assemble the platter, place a burger on each plate, then top with a portion of French fries. Serve immediately and offer ketchup and mustard on the side.
Tips
- For extra crispy fries, pat the frozen fries dry with a paper towel before baking and ensure they're spread in a single layer.
- Use high-quality ground beef with a fat content around 80/20 for the juiciest burgers.
- Let the burger patties rest for a few minutes after cooking to retain their juices.
- For a gourmet touch, toast the burger buns lightly in a skillet with a touch of butter.
- Experiment with different cheese varieties like pepper jack or smoked gouda for unique flavor profiles.
- If you want to reduce cooking time, you can use pre-cooked bacon or air fryer method for both fries and patties.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the fries at their crispiest and burgers at their most delicious!
