Burger Ingredients

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Wash and slice the tomato and onion. Prepare the lettuce leaves.

  2. 2

    Cook the Beef Patties

    Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Season the dry aged beef patties with salt and pepper. Cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes on one side, then flip and place a slice of American cheese on each patty. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the patties are cooked to your desired doneness.

  3. 3

    Toast the Buns

    While the patties are cooking, you can toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Burger

    On the bottom half of each toasted bun, layer a lettuce leaf, a cooked beef patty with melted cheese, a slice of tomato, a few rings of onion, and a drizzle of 540 sauce. Top with the other half of the bun.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the diner burgers immediately with your choice of sides.
