American · Main course · 50 min total

A juicy homemade beef burger with all the classic fixings, served with crispy oven-baked fries. This recipe delivers a satisfying diner-style meal at home.

Ingredients

• 1 lb (450g) ground beef (80/20)
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 4 hamburger buns
• 4 slices cheddar cheese
• 4 leaves lettuce
• 4 slices tomato
• 4 slices red onion
• ketchup, mustard, and pickles for serving
• 4 large russet potatoes (about 2 lbs)
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1/2 tsp paprika
• 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Scrub potatoes and cut into 1/4-inch thick fries. Place in a bowl, toss with olive oil, paprika, and 1/2 tsp salt. Spread in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
3. Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine ground beef, 1 tsp salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently and form into 4 patties, slightly larger than the buns (they shrink). Make a small indent in the center of each patty.
4. Grill or pan-fry patties over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes per side for medium. In the last minute, top each patty with a slice of cheese and cover to melt.
5. Toast buns on the grill or in a skillet until lightly browned.
6. Assemble burgers: place lettuce, tomato, onion, and patty on bottom bun. Add ketchup, mustard, and pickles as desired. Top with bun.
7. Serve burgers immediately with hot fries.

Tips

• Use 80/20 ground beef for juicier burgers.
• Soak cut fries in cold water for 30 minutes before baking for extra crispiness.
• Customize with bacon, avocado, or your favorite toppings.
