Burger Ingredients

Method

Burger Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patties

    Season the Angus beef patties with salt and black pepper. Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    Grill the Patties

    Place the patties on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked to your desired doneness.

  3. 3

    Add Cheese

    During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of American cheese on each patty and close the grill lid to melt the cheese.

  4. 4

    Toast the Rolls

    While the patties are cooking, cut the Kaiser rolls in half and toast them lightly on the grill until golden brown.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burger

    On the bottom half of each toasted roll, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the patty with melted cheese, a slice of tomato, and a few rings of red onion. Top with the other half of the roll.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the burgers immediately with a side of French fries.
