What's for Supper? Burgers and Fries
Forget eating out--these homemade versions are grilled and seasoned to perfection.
By Shirley Harrington / Photography: Tina Cornett / Styling: Cindy Manning Barr / Food Styling: Vanessa McNeil

above, left: To stuff these hearty burgers, top half of patties with cheese slices; then top with remaining patties, pressing edges to seal completely before grilling.; above, right: Stuffed Border Burgers


When it's burger and fries night at your house, steer away from the drive-through and head home. In five minutes the fries can be ready for the oven, where they'll crisp without any complicated frying. While they bake, make the burgers. If you prefer them cheese-topped rather than stuffed, shape the ground beef mixture into six (6-inch) patties. Grill according to directions, and top with the cheese slices during the last minute of grilling. To learn more about making great burgers, turn to "From Our Kitchen" on page 176 of the May 2004 issue of Southern Living.
