Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patties

    Divide the ground beef into four equal portions and form into patties. Season with salt and pepper on both sides.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

    Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes on one side. Flip the patties and top each with a slice of American cheese. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the cheese is melted and the patties reach your desired doneness.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the patties are cooking, slice the tomato and onion. Wash the lettuce leaves and set aside.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Burger

    Toast the brioche buns lightly on the grill or skillet. On the bottom half of each bun, layer the lettuce, a cooked patty with melted cheese, tomato slices, onion rings, pickle slices, and fry sauce. Top with the other half of the bun.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the classic Americana burgers immediately with your favorite side.
