Burger Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patties

    In a bowl, mix the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Form into two equal patties.

  2. 2

    Grill the Patties

    Preheat the grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness.

  3. 3

    Add Cheese

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

  4. 4

    Grill Chicken (Optional)

    If using grilled chicken, season with salt and pepper, and grill for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Buns

    While the patties are cooking, toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Burger

    On the bottom bun, layer lettuce, tomato slices, onion slices, and pickles. Place the cooked patty (or grilled chicken) on top, then add ketchup and mustard. Top with the other half of the bun.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve the Bandido Burger with your choice of side, like fries or a salad.
