Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patties

    In a bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently and form into two equal-sized patties.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

    Preheat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip them.

  3. 3

    Add Cheese

    Place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty after flipping. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the patties are cooked to your desired doneness.

  4. 4

    Toast the Buns

    While the patties are cooking, toast the hamburger buns on the skillet or grill until golden brown.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burger

    Spread the comeback sauce (recipe below) on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Place the cooked patty with melted cheddar on top, followed by the bread and butter pickles. Top with the other half of the bun.
