Comfort Food (Hamburger Steak & French Fries)

What's better for dinner after a hard week than your favorite comfort food! Christopher's all time favorite meal is something his mom cooked for him growing up that they call "Hamburger Steak and French Fries"! Let me explain! Hamburger steak is nothing more than ONE BIG hamburger made in the frying pan, adorned with cheese and cut into slices! YUMMO!

I will preface this with I do not have pictures, sorry, I forgot!

A few tips: I always use ground sirloin (it’s not near as fatty, and holds together better), I make my own bread crumbs and store them in the freezer *take leftover stale bread, throw in blender until it becomes bread crumbs*, I ONLY use French’s Worcestershire Sauce (you've seen me say this before, its THICK and just all around better!), I always generally use real sliced cheese EXCEPT for this which I use Kraft Singles (it melts so much better and is oh so gooey and yummo!)!
