Burgers
Bake the french fries in the oven according to the instructions on the package.
Start a pile of Kingsford Charcoal in the grill for direct cooking. We use a charcoal chimney starter. It's by-far the easiest way to start charcoal fast and evenly.
Shape and press the beef into 4 even patties. Indent the centers to prevent them from shrinking into meatballs on the grill! Be sure to season them with salt & pepper.
Once the charcoal is ready, spread it evenly and prepare the grill for the burgers.
Place the burger patties on the grill and grill them until pink juice stops oozing out the centers - about 6 minutes per side.
As soon as juices run clear, add the cheddar slices to the patties and give them a minute or two to melt before removing the burgers.
Toss the italian bread on to the grill for a few seconds per side to add a slight delicious toastiness to the bread!
Build the Burgers
Spread about 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the bread, add the burger patty, 1/4 of the coleslaw, and a handful of french fries.
Top it off with the second slice of toasted italian bread and enjoy immediately!
