Rockford’s Original Burger Recipe

Burger Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Patties

   In a bowl, gently mix the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape each into a 1/2-inch thick patty. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing while cooking.

2. 2

   Grill the Burgers

   Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until they reach your desired doneness.

3. 3

   Toast the Buns

   During the last minute of cooking, place the burger buns cut-side down on the grill or skillet until lightly toasted.

4. 4

   Assemble the Burger

   On the bottom half of each bun, layer the lettuce, tomato (sliced), red onion (sliced), and dill pickles. Place the cooked burger patty on top, and then add the top half of the bun.
