🍔 Ultimate Cheeseburger with Bacon & Cheesy Fries 🍟
If you’re craving a juicy, cheesy burger and crispy fries, here’s the perfect combo!
Ingredients:
For the Burger:
1 lb ground beef (80/20 ratio for the juiciest burgers) 🥩
4 burger buns 🍞
4 slices of cheddar cheese 🧀
1 cup crispy bacon, crumbled 🍳
4 dill pickle slices 🥒
Salt and pepper to taste 🧂
Optional: ketchup, mustard, and mayo for topping
For the Cheesy Fries:
4 large russet potatoes 🍟
1 tablespoon olive oil 🧴
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese 🧀
Salt and pepper to taste 🧂
Chopped fresh parsley for garnish 🌿
Instructions:
For the Burger:
Form the patties: Shape the ground beef into 4 patties, making sure to press down in the center to avoid puffing up when cooking. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
Cook the burgers: Heat a grill or pan over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes per side (or longer if you prefer them well-done). Add a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.
Assemble the burger: Toast the burger buns in the pan or oven until golden. Stack the cheeseburger with crumbled bacon and pickles, then add any other condiments you like. Place the top bun on and set aside.
For the Cheesy Fries:
Prepare the fries: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Cut the potatoes into fries, toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and spread them on a baking sheet.
Bake the fries: Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they’re crispy and golden brown.
Top the fries: Remove fries from the oven and sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese. Return to the oven for 5 more minutes to melt the cheese. Garnish with chopped parsley.
Serve & Enjoy:
Place the juicy cheeseburger next to a big pile of cheesy fries. It’s a hearty meal that’s guaranteed to satisfy your cravings! 😋
