Malone’s Classic Burger Recipe

Cooking Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Burger Patties

   In a bowl, season the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Divide the beef into two equal parts and shape each into an 8 oz patty, making a slight indentation in the center. This will help the patties cook evenly.

2. 2

   Cook the Bacon

   In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove and place on paper towels to drain.

3. 3

   Char-Grill the Burgers

   Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the burger patties on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness. In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty to melt.

4. 4

   Toast the Buns

   Spread butter on the cut sides of the brioche buns. Place them cut side down on the grill for about 1-2 minutes until golden brown.

5. 5

   Assemble the Burger

   On the bottom half of the toasted brioche bun, layer lettuce, the grilled patty with melted cheddar, bacon, tomato slices, and red onion. Top with the other half of the bun.

6. 6

   Serve

   Serve the burger with a choice of classic side, such as fries or coleslaw.
