Method

Burgers & Witches

  1. 1

    Preheat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Lightly butter the cut sides of the hamburger bun and set aside.

  2. 2

    Gently shape the organic ground beef into a single patty about 3/4 inch thick. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Place the patty on the hot grill or skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on the first side, then flip.

  4. 4

    Place the cheddar cheese slices on the patty after flipping, allowing them to melt as the second side finishes cooking to your desired doneness.

  5. 5

    While the patty cooks, prep the toppings: wash and dry the lettuce leaves, slice the tomato into rounds, and separate the red onion into rings or thin slices.

  6. 6

    Toast the buttered bun halves on the grill or skillet until lightly golden.

  7. 7

    Assemble: spread mayo on the bottom bun, add lettuce, place the cheese-melted patty on top, add tomato and red onion, then drizzle ketchup and mustard on the top bun.

  8. 8

    Close the burger with the top bun and serve immediately.
