Haywood Burger Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Prepare the Beef Patties

   In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the patties tender.

2. 2

   Form Patties

   Divide the beef mixture into two equal parts and shape each into a patty about 3/4 inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing while cooking.

3. 3

   Cook the Patties

   Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip them over.

4. 4

   Add Cheese

   After flipping the patties, place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each patty. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the patty reaches your desired doneness.

5. 5

   Prepare the Vegetables

   While the patties are cooking, wash and dry the lettuce leaves. Slice the tomato into rounds and the onion into thin rings.

6. 6

   Toast the Burger Buns

   Optionally, toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until lightly golden.

7. 7

   Assemble the Burger

   Spread ketchup and mustard on the bottom half of each toasted burger bun. Place the cooked patty with melted cheese on top, followed by the lettuce, tomato slice, and onion rings. Top with the other half of the bun.

8. 8

   Serve

   Serve the Haywood Burger immediately with your choice of sides.
