Method
Burger Patty
Prepare the Patty
In a bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently to combine, being careful not to overwork the meat.
Form the Patty
Shape the mixture into a round patty about 3/4 inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of the patty with your thumb to prevent it from puffing up while cooking.
Add Cheese
Flip the patty and place the slice of white American cheese on top. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and the patty reaches your desired level of doneness.
Toast the Bun
While the patty is cooking, lightly toast the burger bun on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.
Assemble the Burger
Place the cooked patty with melted cheese on the bottom half of the toasted bun. Top with the other half of the bun.
Fries
Prepare the Fries
Preheat your oven according to the instructions on the frozen French fries package.
Cook the Fries
Spread the frozen fries on a baking sheet in a single layer. Drizzle with vegetable oil and toss to coat evenly.
Bake
Bake the fries in the preheated oven for the recommended time, usually about 20-25 minutes, or until golden and crispy, flipping halfway through.
Season the Fries
Once cooked, remove from the oven and sprinkle with salt to taste. Toss to ensure even seasoning.
