Burger Assembly

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Burger Patty

    Season the burger patty with salt and black pepper on both sides. Grill or pan-fry over medium heat for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until cooked to your desired doneness.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the burger patty is cooking, slice the red onion into thin rings and chop the lettuce. If using cold smoked tomatoes, ensure they are cut into manageable pieces.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Burger

    Once the burger patty is cooked, place it on the bottom half of the burger bun. Add the American cheese on top of the hot patty so it melts slightly. Layer the lettuce, red onion rings, cold smoked tomatoes, and IPA pickle slices on top of the cheese. Finish with the top half of the bun.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Serve immediately with your choice of sides such as fries or a salad.
