Ingredients
Scale
For the Burger
- 2 lbs ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 12 slices American cheese
- 4 sesame seed buns
- 2 cups French fries (store-bought or homemade)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Optional Toppings
- Ketchup
- Mustard
- Mayo
Instructions
- Prepare the Fries: Cook the French fries according to the package instructions if using store-bought fries, or fry homemade fries until crispy and golden brown. Set aside.
- Form and Cook the Patties: Divide the ground beef into 8 equal portions and shape each into a patty about 3-4 inches in diameter, ensuring even thickness for consistent cooking.
- Season the Patties: Sprinkle salt and pepper evenly on both sides of each beef patty to enhance flavor.
- Cook the Patties: Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on one side until browned, then flip and cook another 3-4 minutes or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
- Add Cheese: Place a slice of American cheese on each patty about one minute before finishing cooking, allowing the cheese to melt perfectly over the beef.
- Toast the Buns: While the patties cook, lightly toast the sesame seed buns on a skillet, grill, or oven until golden and slightly crisp.
- Assemble the Burger: On the bottom bun, stack 3-4 cheesy beef patties for a monster tower of flavor.
- Add Fries and Condiments: Place a generous handful of crispy French fries atop the patties, then add optional condiments like ketchup, mustard, or mayo according to your preference.
- Complete the Burger: Cap the stack with the top bun to secure all the layers and serve immediately while warm.
Notes
- Use an 80/20 beef blend for optimal juiciness and flavor in the patties.
- Feel free to customize toppings with lettuce, tomato, or pickles for added freshness.
- Ensure the patties are evenly sized for uniform cooking.
- For extra crisp fries, double-fry homemade fries or use frozen fries with high oven temperature.
- Toast buns lightly to prevent sogginess from juicy patties and condiments.
