Backyard Cheeseburger with Thick-Cut Fries
A juicy hand-pressed patty with melted American cheese, ripe tomato and crisp green-leaf lettuce sits in a pillowy bun. Golden thick-cut fries and a side of dill pickles make it the classic weekend plate.
Test kitchen note: Press a shallow dimple into the center of each raw patty so it cooks flat instead of puffing into a dome.
