Burgers and Fries 2.0

There’s no denying that burgers and fries are a classic American dining duo.

Perfect for Outdoor

They’re perfect for outdoor barbecues and days spent by the grill, but there’s no reason you can’t enjoy their delicious flavors year-round! It’s time to think outside the bun; whether you’re layering ingredients onto a pizza or stuffing your burgers with fries, your friends and family are sure to enjoy these unlikely versions of a dish that will never go out of style.


 

THE FRY-STUFFED JUICY LUCY

What You’ll Need:

  • Ground beef
  • French fries
  • Bun
  • Burger toppings and condiments of your choice

How to Make:

Cheese-stuffed burgers, also known as Juicy Lucys, are a beloved dish in many households across the country. Now, you can swap the cheese for French fries to have a crispy, savory taste in every bite of your burger. Simply place half of a ground-beef patty flat on a foil-lined baking sheet, and arrange fries in a starburst pattern before placing the other half of the patty on top and sealing shut. Once you’ve grilled or baked your burgers, you can make them even more delicious by adding your favorite toppings and condiments!


 

CURLY FRY POPPERS

What You’ll Need:

  • Ground beef, cooked and cut into large pieces
  • Curly fries
  • Sliced American or cheddar cheese
  • Condiments of your choice

How to Make:

These curly-fry poppers take one-bite appetizers to the next level. By stuffing cooked ground beef and a small piece of cheese within each curly fry, then baking them on a foil-lined sheet, you’ll get the perfect ratio of ingredients in every bite.


 

BURGER AND FRIES PIZZA

What You’ll Need:

  • Uncooked pizza dough
  • Ground beef, cooked
  • French fries
  • Arugula
  • Sliced red onions
  • Cheese
  • Olive oil
  • Grape tomatoes

How to Make:

Burgers, fries and pizza were meant to go hand in hand! Simply unroll pizza dough onto a piece of parchment paper, then brush dough with olive oil. Sprinkle all toppings aside from arugula onto dough, then bake on a foil-lined sheet in the oven or place on the grill until cheese is bubbling and crush is golden brown. Top with arugula and enjoy.


 

MINI CHEESEBURGER TOSTADAS

What You’ll Need:

  • Ground beef
  • French fries
  • Cheese
  • Toppings and condiments of your choice

How to Make:

Open-faced sandwiches are always a treat, especially when they’re miniature! Weave French fries together (or use waffle fries) to form a secure base for your tiny, tasty tostadas. Then, top with miniature cooked patties, cheese and your choice of toppings for hors d’oeuvres everyone in your family will love.


 

WALKING BURGER AND FRIES

What You’ll Need:

  • Burger patties, cooked and sliced
  • French fries
  • Toppings and condiments of your choice

How to Make:

Foil packets are the key to this perfectly mobile snack, which is also an ideal way to make the most of your grill-out leftovers. Place cooked burger pieces, French fries and toppings of your choice on a flat sheet of foil, then layer another sheet on top and fold all edges closed. Place directly on the grill, and after a few minutes, remove and slice open to reveal a piping-hot, on-the-go meal.
