Max's Cheeseburger Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Patties

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

2. 2

   Cook the Patties

   Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the beef patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and place a slice of sharp American cheese on each patty. Cook for another 4-5 minutes until the cheese is melted and the patties are cooked to your desired doneness.

3. 3

   Toast the Buns

   While the patties are cooking, toast the burger buns on the grill or in a separate skillet until golden brown.

4. 4

   Assemble the Burger

   On the bottom half of each bun, layer arugula, the cooked beef patty with melted cheese, crispy onions, and tomato slices. Drizzle with BBQ aioli (see note) and top with the other half of the bun.

5. 5

   Serve

   Serve immediately with your favorite sides.
