Method

Bun and Patties Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patties

    In a bowl, divide the ground beef into two equal portions of 4 oz each. Shape them into patties and season with salt and pepper to taste.

  2. 2

    Toast the Bun

    Slice the sesame bun in half and toast it on a skillet or grill until golden brown.

  3. 3

    Cook the Patties

    Preheat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness. In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of American cheese on each patty to melt.

Assembly

  1. 4

    Assemble the Burger

    On the bottom half of the toasted sesame bun, spread 1 tablespoon of burger sauce. Place one cheesy patty on top, followed by half of the minced onions, shredded lettuce, and pickles. Add the second cheesy patty on top, and repeat the layers of minced onions, shredded lettuce, and pickles. Finally, spread another tablespoon of burger sauce on the top half of the bun and close the burger.
