Cheesy Cheeseburgers and Twice - Baked French Fries

You get a "twofer" today! These delicious Cheeseburgers and Fries are classic diner food, just like you'd find in the good old days.

Homemade cheeseburgers taste so much better and you have the benefit of adding any toppings you like, to both your burger and your fries. Plus, you might just be lucky enough to know your burger IS actually made of beef...
