Who doesn’t love burgers for dinner? These fun, flavorful patties are cooked on top of onions with French fries for an all-in-one meal.

Ingredients

1 onion, thinly sliced
1 tsp (5 mL) oil
½ pkg frozen French fries (about 3 cups/750 mL)
2 tbsp (30 mL) plus 1 tsp (5 mL) Smoky Mezcal Rub, divided
1 lb. (450 g) 85% lean ground beef
4 slices Havarti or cheddar cheese
½ cup (125 mL) ketchup
4 brioche hamburger buns, toasted
Optional: Sliced dill pickles

Directions

Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).
Place the onion on one side of a large sheet pan and toss with the oil. Place the fries on the other side. Sprinkle the onions and fries with 1 tsp (5 mL) of the rub. Bake for 11–13 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Combine the meat and 1 tbsp (15 mL) of rub in a mixing bowl and form into 4 thin patties. Place them on top of the onions. Bake for 20 minutes, or until cooked through and the fries are crispy.
Top each burger with a slice of cheese and place back in the oven for an additional minute, or until the cheese is melted.
Combine the ketchup with the remaining rub in a small bowl.
To assemble, place the patty and onions on the bun and top with the sauce, and pickles, if you’d like. Serve the fries with the extra sauce.

Cook's Tips:

You can use thin potato wedges or tater tots instead of fries.

When you’re forming the burgers, make a thumb-size indentation in the centers to help the burgers keep their shape as they cook. The Burger & Slider Press does it for you!
