Method

Brunch

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef Patties

    In a large bowl, mix the ground Black Angus beef with salt and black pepper. Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into patties.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side. Flip the patties, place two slices of American cheese on top of each patty, and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the patties are cooked to your desired doneness.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Buns

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

  4. 4

    Assemble the Burger

    Spread a generous amount of peppered mayo on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Place one cheesy beef patty on each bun. Top each patty with a tablespoon of bacon jam and a handful of pickles. Finally, place the top half of the bun on each burger.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Cut the burgers in half if desired and serve immediately with your favorite sides.
