Instructions
Step 1 Preheat oven and bake French fries according to package instructions until golden and crisp.
Step 2 Form ground beef into four equal-sized patties. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
Step 3 Heat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat and cook patties for 3-4 minutes per side or until desired doneness. Add a slice of cheddar and American cheese on each patty in the last minute of cooking.
Step 4 If using fried chicken tenders, cook or reheat until crispy.
Step 5 Toast brioche buns with a little butter on a skillet until golden.
Step 6 Assemble burgers: bottom bun, burger sauce, beef patty, optional chicken tender, more cheese, crispy onions, top bun.
Step 7 For the cheesy fries, place hot fries on a serving plate, top with shredded cheddar, drizzle with cheese sauce, and sprinkle with crispy fried onions.
Step 8 Serve the loaded burger with the cheesy fries for the ultimate indulgent combo.
Storage and Reheating Tips
Store burger components and fries separately in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat patties and fries in the oven at 350°F for 10 minutes or until hot. Reheat cheese sauce gently on the stove or microwave. Assemble fresh before serving for best texture and flavor.
