Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patties

    In a bowl, season the ground beef with salt and pepper. Divide the beef into two equal portions and shape them into patties.

  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, then flip and place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the patties are cooked to your desired doneness.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Aioli

    If not using pre-made roasted onion aioli, blend roasted onions with mayonnaise, garlic, and a pinch of salt until smooth.

  4. 4

    Cook the Bacon (if using)

    In a separate pan, cook the bacon until crispy, then drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burger

    Toast the burger buns lightly. Spread roasted onion aioli on the bottom bun, add the lettuce, then place the first patty. Add pickles, then the second patty, and top with bacon if desired. Finish with the top bun.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the burgers hot with your favorite sides.
