Double-Double Burger with Animal Style Fries from Marley Spoon
Everyone who works with me at my Bedford, New York farm loves our Marley Spoon meal kits, which include many of my recipes. They're delicious, easy to prepare, and each meal can be cooked and on the table within 40-minutes - so great after a long, busy day at work.
Every week, I order several Marley Spoon meal kits to enjoy. I cook one or two for myself, and then ask members of my team to take various dishes home to try as well. Recently, one of my gardeners took home Double-Double Burger with Animal Style Fries, our rendition of a popular meal with juicy meat patties dressed with decadent cheese, onions, and a special sauce of pickles, mayonnaise, and ketchup paired with crispy, seasoned oven fries. And, as always, all the ingredients are pre-measured, pre-packaged, and included with the kit.
Here are some photos, enjoy.
Here is the large recipe card for the Double-Double Burger with Animal Style Fries. Every Martha Stewart & Marley Spoon kit comes with this large recipe card complete with a photo of the finished dish on one side…
… And on the other, the complete how-to, step-by-step instructions and detailed photos to match. These photos help so much when preparing any meal. We make sure there are as few steps as possible for every dish. We work hard to develop every Martha Stewart & Marley Spoon meal kit recipe so it is time-saving, easy to make, and most of all, delicious.
This meal kit for four is inspired by another popular burger and fries duo. It includes four potatoes, three onions, two dill pickles, mayonnaise, a tomato, a romaine heart, cheese sauce, ground beef patties, four buns, and packets of dijon mustard. One only has to provide oil, salt and pepper, sugar and ketchup.
First, the oven is pre-heated to 450-degrees Fahrenheit.
The first step is to prepare the potatoes. All four potatoes are scrubbed clean and then cut into quarter-inch fries.
Then, the fries are drizzled with oil and seasoned with salt and pepper.
The fries are placed on a rimmed baking sheet and roasted on the upper rack of the oven until golden-crisp, about 30 to 35 minutes long.
Next, the yellow onions are finely chopped. And, do you know why onions make one cry? Onions contain amino acids known as cysteine sulfoxides. When an onion is cut, chopped, or torn, enzymes in the onion break down the cysteine sulfoxides and turn them into propanethial S-oxide, which then decomposes into sulfuric acid resulting in the irritation, stinging, and tearing that is associated with cutting onions. To cut onions without crying, try chilling them in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes first. The cold temperature will slow down the enzymes and ease the irritating effects.
The chopped onions are heated in two tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat with salt and pepper, and then cooked until browned and soft.
Then they are placed into a bowl and set aside.
Meanwhile, while some of the pickle slices are reserved for the burgers, some are chopped for the sauce and saved with two tablespoons of pickle juice.
The pickles and juice are mixed with the mayonnaise…
… along with a quarter cup of ketchup and two teaspoons of sugar.
The sauce is then seasoned to taste with salt and pepper.
Next, the tomatoes are sliced, and the lettuce is torn to bun sized pieces.
This meal kit has enough ground beef to divide into eight balls, which are then pressed into eight four-inch patties.
The skillet is heated with one tablespoon of oil over high until smoking. Then, three or four patties are put in and cooked until well browned and crusty on the bottom, about two minutes.
Mustard is spread onto the patty and then turned over so it can cook for one minute.
Here are the “animal style fries” fresh out of the oven.
The burgers are assembled – the patties, each with a stack of onions, lettuce, tomato, on toasted buns, and served with the cheese covered fries topped with special sauce and more onions. This meal was devoured in minutes. It’s delicious and mouthwatering.
