Step 1
Preheat oven to 425°F. Spread the 1 lb frozen fries on a baking sheet and bake until golden and crispy, about 20 minutes, shaking halfway.
Step 2
While fries bake, divide the 1 lb ground beef into 4 equal portions and shape into patties slightly wider than the buns. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
Step 3
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the 4 patties for 3-4 minutes per side until browned and cooked through (no pink inside). During the last minute, place 1 slice of cheddar on each patty to melt.
Step 4
Toast the 4 black buns cut-side down in the skillet for 1 minute until lightly golden. Build burgers: bottom bun, lettuce, patty with cheese, a slice of tomato, then top bun.
Step 5
Serve the burgers hot with the crispy fries on the side. Add ketchup or mayo if you like.
