Burger Patties

Toppings

Buns

Method

Cooking the Patties

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patties

    In a bowl, mix ground beef with salt and black pepper. Divide into three equal portions and shape into patties.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

    Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they reach your desired doneness. Add a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.

Assembling the Burger

  1. 3

    Cook the Bacon

    In the same skillet, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  2. 4

    Prepare the Buns

    Toast the burger buns lightly on the grill or in a toaster.

  3. 5

    Assemble the Burger

    On the bottom bun, layer a patty, followed by kalua pig, bacon, lettuce, tomato slices, BBQ sauce, and onion rings. Repeat for the second and third patties, topping with the top bun.
