Burger Patty

Burger Assembly

Method

Prepare the Burger Patty

  1. 1

    Season the Beef

    In a bowl, combine the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Mix gently until combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.

  2. 2

    Form the Patty

    Shape the seasoned beef into a patty that is about 1 inch thick and slightly wider than the burger bun.

  3. 3

    Grill the Patty

    Preheat a grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat. Cook the patty for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness, or until desired doneness is achieved.

Add Toppings

  1. 4

    Add BBQ Sauce

    Once the burger patty is nearly done cooking, brush the BBQ sauce over the top of the patty.

  2. 5

    Melt the Cheese

    Place a slice of pepperjack cheese on top of the BBQ-covered patty. Close the grill lid for about 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted.

  3. 6

    Crispy Onions

    Sprinkle crispy fried onions on top of the melted cheese just before removing the burger from the grill.

Assemble the Burger

  1. 7

    Prepare the Bun

    Toast the burger bun lightly on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

  2. 8

    Layer the Ingredients

    On the bottom half of the toasted bun, place the lettuce leaf, followed by the grilled patty with toppings, a slice of tomato, and pickles.

  3. 9

    Finish the Burger

    Top with the other half of the bun and press down gently. Serve immediately.
