• Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Cut potato into 1⁄2-inch-thick wedges. • Toss potato on a baking sheet with a large drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. Roast on top rack until browned and tender, 20-25 minutes. TIP: If you added any other items to your meal (apps, sides, and/or dessert), you can get started on them now!

• Meanwhile, trim and discard root end from lettuce; separate leaves. Set larger leaves aside; finely slice remaining leaves crosswise. Thinly slice tomato into rounds; transfer to a plate and season all over with salt and pepper. Heat a large dry pan over medium-high heat. Add bacon*; cook, turning occasionally and adjusting heat if browning too quickly, until crispy, 6-10 minutes. Turn off heat; transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. Wipe out pan.

• In a large bowl, combine beef*, stock concentrate, onion powder, 1⁄2 tsp salt (3⁄4 tsp for 4 servings), and pepper. • Form into two patties (four patties for 4), each slightly wider than a burger bun.

• Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add patties (depending on the size of your pan, you may need to work in batches) and cook to desired doneness, 3-5 minutes per side (reduce heat to medium and cover if patties begin to brown too quickly). • TIP: To make cheeseburgers, in the last 1-2 minutes of cooking top patties with cheddar; cover pan to melt cheese. Use pan used for bacon here.

• While patties cook, halve and toast buns; transfer to a serving platter. TIP: Begin setting up your burger bar with toppings if potato wedges and patties are still cooking!

• Serve lettuce leaves, shredded lettuce, tomato, patties, buns, pickles, crispy fried onions, ketchup, mayonnaise, and any remaining cheddar family style and let everyone build their own burgers. • Serve with potato wedges on the side. Serve bacon alongside burger bar. Bacon is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 145°. Ground Beef is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 160°.
