Instructions

Prepare the Fries: Cook the French fries according to the package instructions if store-bought, or fry homemade fries until golden and crispy. Set aside and keep warm.
Form the Patties: Divide the ground beef into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a round patty, roughly equal in size to fit on the buns.
Season the Patties: Sprinkle each patty evenly with salt and pepper on both sides to enhance flavor.
Cook the Patties: Heat a skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 3 to 4 minutes per side or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
Add Cheese: Place a slice of American cheese on each patty during the last minute of cooking to allow it to melt perfectly.
Toast the Buns: Lightly toast the sesame seed buns on a grill or in a toaster to add texture and warmth.
Assemble the Burger: Start layering the bottom bun with 3 to 4 cheesy beef patties stacked on top of each other.
Add Fries and Condiments: Place the cooked French fries on top of the stacked patties. Add optional condiments such as ketchup, mustard, and mayo according to taste.
Finish the Burger: Place the top bun over the stack and gently press to secure the layers. Serve immediately while hot.

Notes

For best results, use freshly ground beef with an 80/20 fat ratio to keep patties juicy.
Adjust the number of patties per burger according to appetite and bun size.
Customize with additional toppings like lettuce, tomato, or pickles if desired.
French fries can be baked, fried, or air-fried based on preference.
Ensure patties are cooked to a safe internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
