$20 Burger (Happy Father's Day) with Homemade French Fries

We went to Lee’s Marketplace for some custom meat. They will make custom mixes for you of the raw meat. They mixed the Italian Sausage and Ground Chuck 85%.

Once you get it home, mix in cooked bacon (Cut into small 1/2 inch pieces) and cubed cheese.

Cook till done, we barbecued ours. (Sausage should not be served rare).

Add lettuce, tomatoes and condiments to your taste.

Here are some cool variations that you can use for the burger if you would like to build in some unique flavors. 

Add these or replace similar items with the following.

Homemade French Fries

The best way to make french fries is to preheat oil in a deep pan to about 350 degrees. Peel and slice russet potatoes to your desired size and soak them for about 15 minutes in salted water.

Remove from the water and place on a towel and dry the potato slices as best you can.

Put small amounts at a time into preheated oil.

Cook fries to a golden brown or your desired crispiness.

You will have to allow the oil to reheat to 350 degrees after each batch.
