Burger Ingredients

Method

Burger Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patty

    In a large bowl, combine the ground chuck and brisket. Season with salt and black pepper. Mix gently and form into two equal 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 for medium doneness, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.

  3. 3

    Add Cheese

    During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cover until melted.

  4. 4

    Toast the Buns

    While the patties are cooking, toast the brioche buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burger

    On the bottom half of each toasted brioche bun, layer the lettuce, cooked patty with melted cheese, beefsteak tomato slice, onion, Wickles pickles, and finally the top half of the bun.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the Americana Burger immediately with your favorite sides.
