Instructions

Heat the oven to 425 degrees F and bake the frozen french fries according to the package directions.

Meanwhile, season the ground beef with kosher salt and onion powder in a small mixing bowl. Heat a large cast iron or non stick skillet over medium heat. Working in batches of 6 to 8, make mini burger patties by scooping the ground beef into golf ball sized portions and set them in the skillet. Pretty the patties into the skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes each side until browned. Moved the cooked patties to a baking sheet and sprinkle with the cheese. Bake for 5 minutes to cook through and melt the cheese.

While the burgers are cooking, combine the romaine, tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, and breadcrumbs in a large bowl. Top with chopped french fries, the mini burger patties, and serve with the special sauce dressing.
