Method

Cooking the Burger

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef Patty

    Form the ground beef into a patty, about 1 inch thick. Season with salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patty

    Heat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Cook the patty for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until it reaches your desired doneness.

  3. 3

    Add Cheese

    Place the American cheese slice on the patty during the last minute of cooking to let it melt.

Assembling the Burger

  1. 4

    Toast the Bun

    Slice the Kaiser bun in half and toast it lightly on the grill or in a toaster.

  2. 5

    Layer the Ingredients

    On the bottom half of the bun, place the cooked burger patty with melted cheese, followed by caramelized onions, dill pickles, and bacon if desired. Top with the other half of the bun.
