Mustard, ketchup, red onion, thick cut bacon, relish, commercial buns, and pseudo cheese.

Flavor and texture wise this is the closest I've ever gotten to a premium commercial burger. Not the chain places but the roadside shack next to the strip club that has grass carpet, plastic chairs and dancers that are expecting. These burgers are really good.

Homemade chips.
As for the chips I made sure to slice long slices which also resulted in the best chips.

I have run out of pickle relish.

This was not my choice. Wife demanded "heme with fat" and I asked about pork steak but she decided that burgers were the answer. This is going to require at least one vegetarian meal this week to balance the budget. Ground beef is way too expensive.

Cost per person $7.07

I'm having burgers tonight too! But less fancy.

Home made burgers with onion, tomato, ketchup and mustard. On store bought burger buns. No bacon or cheese or relish.

Heme is the red liquid in meat that some people mistake for blood. Finding a way to get a vegetable source of heme was essential to making impossible beef possible. With fat was that she wanted the meat to be fatty Instead of lean.

"processed cheese food product"
Cheese that's been modified to melt at a low temperature. Fast food cheese. American cheese individually wrapped in single use plastic.

Thanks for the explanation! That is indeed uncommon where I live and usually sold as "American Slices" or some similar names.

I honestly don't know how people afford to get fast food delivered to them. People have to learn how to cook. Food delivery services are stealing from the poor. And by poor I mean people who are 12 paychecks or less away from being homeless.
