1
Prepare the Smoked Tomato Aioli
In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, smoked paprika, smoked tomatoes, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Mix well until smooth. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
2
Cook the Beef Patty
Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Form the ground beef into a patty about 3/4 inch thick. Season with salt and pepper. Cook the patty for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired doneness.
3
Add Cheese
During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of American cheese on top of the patty and cover to allow the cheese to melt.
4
Assemble the Burger
Toast the burger bun lightly. Spread a generous amount of smoked tomato aioli on both halves of the bun. Place the cooked beef patty with melted cheese on the bottom half. Top with lettuce, tomato, and pickle slices. Cover with the top half of the bun.
5
Serve
Serve the Tavern Burger with your choice of side, such as fries, salad, or onion rings.
