Burger Patties

Buns

Method

Prepare the Patties

  1. 1

    Mix Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently to combine without overworking the meat.

  2. 2

    Shape Patties

    Divide the beef mixture into 2 equal portions (4 oz each) and shape them into patties. Make a small indent in the center of each patty to prevent puffing while cooking.

Cook the Patties

  1. 3

    Cook First Side

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the patties and cook for about 4 minutes on one side.

  2. 4

    Cook Second Side

    Flip the patties and place a slice of sharp white American cheese on each patty. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the burgers reach your desired doneness.

Assemble the Burger

  1. 5

    Toast Buns

    Lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

  2. 6

    Layer Ingredients

    On the bottom half of each bun, layer the butter lettuce, followed by the cooked cheeseburger patty.

  3. 7

    Add Toppings

    Add the sliced red onion, house-made pickles, and drizzle the baaahd sauce on top. Finish with the top half of the bun.
