Ingredients

Burger Base:

1 pound lean ground beef
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
½ teaspoon paprika

Salad Dressing:

⅓ cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons ketchup
2 tablespoons diced dill pickles
½ tablespoon prepared yellow mustard
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder

Salad:

4 cups chopped romaine lettuce
1 cup halved cherry, or grape tomatoes
1 cup thinly sliced red onion
1 cup pre-sliced dill pickle chips
1 cup freshly shredded sharp cheddar
3 cups cooked frozen french fries I used regular cut, but you can use your favorite type of french fries

Instructions

Cook the frozen french fries according to the package instructions and set them aside. (This can be done while preparing the other components of the recipe.)
3 cups cooked frozen french fries
In a 10 inch skillet over medium high heat, add the ground beef, onion powder, garlic powder, kosher salt, pepper and paprika and cook while stirring often until the ground beef is cooked through and no longer pink. This should take about 5 minutes. Drain any excess oil.
1 pound lean ground beef, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, 1 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper, ½ teaspoon paprika
Add the mayonnaise, ketchup, diced dill pickle, mustard, garlic and onion powder to a small bowl. Stir until completely combined and uniform in color.
⅓ cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons ketchup, 2 tablespoons diced dill pickles, ½ tablespoon prepared yellow mustard, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon onion powder
Add the lettuce to a large serving bowl. Arrange the tomatoes, red onion, pickle slices, cooked ground beef, cooked french fries and sharp cheddar cheese around the edges of the lettuce.
4 cups chopped romaine lettuce, 1 cup halved cherry, or grape tomatoes, 1 cup thinly sliced red onion, 1 cup pre-sliced dill pickle chips, 1 cup freshly shredded sharp cheddar
Drizzle the salad dressing over the entire salad. Serve immediately.

Notes

Storage :

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Please keep in mind that french fries do not keep well in the refrigerator once cooked, so you may want to cook fresh fries when serving the leftover salad.

This recipe is also great for meal prep. You can batch-cook the ground beef ahead of time and store it in the fridge or freezer to make this recipe even quicker to assemble. Brown the ground beef over medium-high heat, drain, and let it cool before storing it in a Ziploc bag.
