Cooking Guidelines

To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:

  • Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |
  • Seafood 145° F |
  • Chicken 165° F |
  • Ground Beef 160° F |
  • Ground Turkey 165° F |
  • Ground Pork 160° F

Customize It Instructions

  • If using ground turkey, cook until patties reach minimum internal temperature, 6-8 minutes per side.

  • If using Impossible burger, cook until patties reach a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees, 4-6 minutes per side.

  1. 1

    Bake the Fries

    Cut potatoes into 1/2"-thick fries and pat dry.

    Place fries on prepared baking sheet and toss with 1 tsp. olive oil, 1/4 tsp. salt, and a pinch of pepper.

    Spread into a single layer. Bake in hot oven until lightly browned, 25-30 minutes, tossing once halfway through.

    While fries bake, continue recipe.

  2. 2

    Prepare Ingredients and Make Dipping Sauce

    Quarter and remove core from apple. Cut into 1/4" dice.

    In a mixing bowl, combine half the maple seasoning (reserve remaining for apples) and 1/2 tsp. hot water. Stir until dissolved, then add mayonnaise and stir until smooth. Set aside.

    Form ground beef into two equally-sized patties, about 5" in diameter, and season both sides with a pinch of salt and pepper.

  3. 3

    Cook the Bacon and Apples

    Line a plate with a paper towel.

    Place a medium non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add bacon to hot, dry pan and stir often until crispy, 1-2 minutes.

    Transfer bacon to towel-lined plate. Keep pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 tsp. olive oil, apples, and a pinch of salt to hot pan. Stir occasionally until beginning to soften, 6-8 minutes.

    Add 1/4 cup water and remaining maple seasoning. Stir occasionally until liquid is almost completely evaporated, 3-5 minutes.

    Remove from burner.

    While apples cook, continue recipe.

  4. 4

    Toast Buns and Cook Patties

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add buns to hot, dry pan and toast until browned, 1-3 minutes.

    Transfer buns to a plate. Keep pan over medium-high heat.

    Add patties to hot, dry pan. Cook until lightly charred and beef reaches a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees, 4-6 minutes per side.

    Top patties with cheese. Cover and cook until melted, 1-2 minutes.

    Remove from burner.
