Ultimate Bacon Cheeseburger with Fries 🍔

 Ultimate Bacon Cheeseburger with Fries 🍔🍟

Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground beef (or plant-based ground meat for a vegetarian option)
• 4 burger buns
• 4 slices cheddar cheese
• 8 slices bacon
• 1 small onion, sliced
• 1 tomato, sliced
• 4 lettuce leaves
• 1/4 cup ketchup
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 4 large potatoes (for fries)
• Olive oil (for frying or baking)

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) if baking fries. Cut potatoes into thin fries, toss in olive oil, salt, and pepper. Bake for 25-30 minutes until crispy.

In a skillet, cook the bacon until crispy. Drain on paper towels.

Shape the ground beef into 4 patties, season with salt and pepper.

Cook the patties on a grill or skillet over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes per side, until they reach your desired level of doneness.

Place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.

Toast the burger buns on the grill or in a skillet until golden brown.

In a small bowl, combine ketchup, mayonnaise, and Dijon mustard to make the sauce.

Assemble the burger: Spread sauce on the bottom bun, then layer with lettuce, a cheesy patty, crispy bacon, tomato, and onion slices. Top with the second bun.

Serve the burger with hot fries on the side.

Notes:

Customize with extra toppings like pickles, avocado, or grilled mushrooms for extra flavor.
