Laplatte River Angus Farm Beef Burger Recipe

Cooking Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Patties

   In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently and form into 4 equal patties.

2. 2

   Cook the Bacon

   In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

3. 3

   Cook the Burgers

   In the same skillet with the bacon grease, cook the beef patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness. Add a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty in the last minute of cooking to melt.

4. 4

   Toast the Buns

   While the burgers are cooking, lightly toast the burger buns in the skillet or on a grill.

5. 5

   Assemble the Burgers

   On the bottom half of each bun, layer arugula, a beef patty with melted cheddar, two slices of bacon, and a generous amount of pickled red onions. Top with the other half of the bun.
