Burger Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Oyster Mixture

    In a bowl, combine the shucked oysters, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    In a separate bowl, mix the ground beef with the oyster mixture. Form into two patties.

  3. 3

    Cook the Patties

    Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired doneness.

  4. 4

    Melt the Cheese

    In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cover to melt.

  5. 5

    Toast the Buns

    In a separate pan, melt butter over medium heat and toast the burger buns until golden brown.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Burger

    On the bottom bun, layer the lettuce, the cooked patty with melted cheese, tomato slices, and a drizzle of hot sauce. Top with the other half of the bun.
