2 pounds ground beef sirloin or lean chuck

3 tablespoons basic barbecue rub

8 slices cheddar

8 soft hamburger buns, split and toasted

Lettuce leaves, tomato slices and mayonnaise

8 slices bacon, cooked

Fries

4 large potatoes, Yukon Gold or russet

4 tablespoons canola oil

1⁄2 teaspoon paprika

Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

Preparation

For fries, preheat oven to 400°F. Peel and cut potatoes lengthwise into 1⁄4 -inch thick slices; cut each slice into 2-inch long strips. Toss potatoes with oil in large bowl; sprinkle with salt, paprika and pepper. Place on parchment lined baking sheet in single layer. Bake potatoes about 20 to 25 minutes, turning occasionally, until crispy and golden. Serves 8.

For burger, form beef into 8 patties, about 3⁄4-inch thick. Season both sides with barbecue rub. Lightly oil grill and preheat to medium-high heat. Grill burgers 7 minutes per side or until desired doneness. Top with cheese during last minute of cooking.

To assemble, place lettuce on bottom bun. Top with burger, tomato, mayonnaise, fries and bacon. Cover with top. Serves 8.

Although the magazine was launched in Mari Loewen’s Canadian home kitchen where it remained for 10 years, as the brand grew many incredibly talented folks were involved in the success of ANNA Magazine. To name a few, Creative Director, Segun Olude; Art Director, Shannon Dewy; Prop Stylist, Kari Wardrop, Recipe Developer & Food Stylist, Marisa Curatolo; Copywriters Tara Kaprowy and Erin Lancione, and many friends, sponsors and advertisers. As the brand transitioned into the digital world, many more were involved. Thank you to all of them.
