Malone’s Classic Cheddar Burger* Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Burger Patties

   In a large bowl, gently mix the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into patties, about 4 oz each.

2. 2

   Cook the Bacon

   In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon strips until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and place them on paper towels to drain excess grease.

3. 3

   Grill the Burger Patties

   Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the burger patties on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side. Flip the patties, add a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each, and grill for an additional 4-5 minutes or until they reach your desired doneness.

4. 4

   Toast the Brioche Buns

   In a separate skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Place the brioche buns cut-side down in the skillet and toast until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.

5. 5

   Assemble the Burger

   On the bottom half of each toasted brioche bun, layer the lettuce leaves, followed by the grilled burger patty with melted cheddar, crispy bacon, tomato slices, and red onion rings. Top with the other half of the bun.
