It's a hot summer day, you're hungry and you really don't want to go to the grocery store. How would you like a juicy burger with crispy French fries on the side?
In this consumer world, it's hard to believe that you can actually make a hamburger completely from scratch - with French fries on the side. Believe it or not, though, it's possible. With a little bit of patience, a stove and some simple ingredients, you can put together a healthy classical hamburger dinner for the whole family.
First you'll need my quick & easy hamburger bun recipe...
INGREDIENTS:
- 4 cups bread flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dill
- 2 cups lukewarm water
- 2 Tbsp dried yeast
- 4 Tbsp white sugar
DIRECTIONS:
- Preheat oven at 360° Fahrenheit.
- In a large bowl, mix the flour, salt, garlic and dill.
- Combine the water, yeast, and sugar; let sit for about 10 minutes until frothy.
- Slowly pour the water mixture into the flour mixture and create the dough. Add extra flour as needed if the dough is too sticky. Knead with your fists for 5 - 7 minutes.
- Divide the dough into 12 parts, shape into buns and place onto 2 greased baking sheets. Let rise in a warm area for 30 - 40 minutes. (Tip: To rush this process, I cheat and install a normal desk lamp with a heating light bulb right next to the buns.)
- Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes. Let the buns cool down before slicing.
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 Tbsp canola oil
- 1 small onion, chopped finely
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/2 tsp soy sauce
- 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 clove garlic, pressed
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 2 eggs
- 3/4 cup oatmeal flakes
DIRECTIONS:
- Heat the oil over medium heat in a skillet, and cook the onion until tender.
- Combine all of the ingredients (including the cooked onion) and mix until the meat holds together. Add more oatmeal if necessary.
- Shape about 8 patties, and cook each side for about 8 minutes over medium-low heat.
INGREDIENTS:
- 6 large potatoes (cut into French fry shape!)
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried parsley
DIRECTIONS:
- Preheat oven at 400° Fahrenheit.
- Combine oil, salt, paprika, garlic powder and parsley. Coat potatoes with oil/spice mixture and place on a baking sheet.
- Bake for 40 minutes in preheated oven.
