How do you make everyone happy at dinnertime? A DIY burger bar! Keep it simple with sliced cheddar and ketchup tucked into a pillowy brioche bun; or go all out with tomato, pickles, lettuce, crispy fried onions, and mayo (plus potato wedges on the side). Order extras like bacon or add sweet potatoes for another side option!
Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce.
Cut potato into 1⁄2-inch-thick wedges.
Toss potato on a baking sheet with a large drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. Roast on top rack until browned and tender, 20-25 minutes. TIP: If you added any other items to your meal (apps, sides, and/or dessert), you can get started on them now!
Meanwhile, trim and discard root end from lettuce; separate leaves. Set larger leaves aside; finely slice remaining leaves crosswise. Thinly slice tomato into rounds; transfer to a plate and season all over with salt and pepper.
In a large bowl, combine beef*, stock concentrate, onion powder, 1⁄2 tsp salt (3⁄4 tsp for 4 servings), and pepper.
Form into two patties (four patties for 4), each slightly wider than a burger bun.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add patties (depending on the size of your pan, you may need to work in batches) and cook to desired doneness, 3-5 minutes per side (reduce heat to medium and cover if patties begin to brown too quickly).
TIP: To make cheeseburgers, in the last 1-2 minutes of cooking top patties with cheddar; cover pan to melt cheese.
While patties cook, halve and toast buns; transfer to a serving platter. TIP: Begin setting up your burger bar with toppings if potato wedges and patties are still cooking!
Serve lettuce leaves, shredded lettuce, tomato, patties, buns, pickles, crispy fried onions, ketchup, mayonnaise, and any remaining cheddar family style and let everyone build their own burgers.
Serve with potato wedges on the side.
Ground Beef is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 160°.
