Burger Ingredients
Method
Burger Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Beef Patties
Take the ground beef and divide it into two equal portions, about half a pound each. Shape each portion into a patty about ¾ inch thick. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb; this helps the burger cook evenly.
- 2
Season the Patties
Season each patty generously with salt and pepper on both sides. Let them sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes before cooking to enhance the flavors.

Grill the Patties
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Place the patties on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side. Flip the patties and add a slice of American cheese on top of each. Grill for another 3-4 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the burger is cooked to your desired doneness.

Prepare the Rolls
While the burgers are grilling, slice the Martin's Potato Rolls in half and toast them on the grill for the last 1-2 minutes until they are golden brown.

Assemble the Burger
On the bottom half of each toasted roll, place a generous amount of lettuce, followed by the grilled burger patty with melted cheese. Top with sliced red onions and pickles. Drizzle with Unicorn sauce (your choice of a special sauce) and cap it with the top half of the roll.
