Burger Ingredients

Method

Burger Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Angus Beef Patties

    In a large bowl, combine the Angus beef with salt and black pepper. Form into 4 equal patties, about 1/4 pound each. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty to prevent them from puffing up while grilling.

  2. 2

    Grill the Patties

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the patties for about 4-6 minutes on each side for medium doneness, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.

  3. 3

    Toast the Buns

    While the patties are grilling, toast the challah buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

  4. 4

    Add Cheese

    During the last minute of grilling, place a slice of cheese on each patty to melt.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burger

    Spread chipotle aïoli or whole grain mustard aïoli on the bottom bun. Add the grilled patty with melted cheese, then top with caramelized onions, sliced avocado, and crispy applewood bacon. Cap with the top bun.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve immediately with your choice of sides and enjoy your Build Your Own Burger!
