Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patties

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Mix gently and form into 4 equal patties.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.

  3. 3

    Add Cheese

    In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of Swiss cheese on each patty and cover to let it melt.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Avocado

    While the patties are cooking, slice the avocado and tomato. Set aside.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burgers

    Spread mayonnaise on the bottom of each burger bun. Layer with lettuce, the cooked patty with melted cheese, sliced avocado, and tomato. Top with the other half of the bun.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the California Burgers immediately with your choice of sides.
