Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef (80/20 or lean)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 slice cheddar cheese
- 2 piece brioche buns (split)
- 1 package frozen potato wedges (24 oz package)
- 2 cup mixed baby greens
- 2 tablespoon ranch dressing
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Spread frozen potato wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for 18 to 20 minutes until crisp and golden.
- Shape ground beef into two equal patties, about 1/2-inch thick, and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
- Heat a cast-iron or heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Cook burger patties for 4 minutes, flip, and cook 3 minutes more until browned and internal temperature reaches 160°F. Place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty during the last minute to melt.
- Lightly toast brioche buns in the skillet or toaster. Place patties on buns, toss mixed baby greens with ranch dressing, and serve burgers alongside hot wedges and salad.
