Burger Ingredients

Method

Burger Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patties

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Form the mixture into two 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 one side, then flip and add a slice of cheddar cheese on top. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes or until the cheese melts and the burger reaches your desired doneness.

  3. 3

    Toast the Buns

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

  4. 4

    Assemble the Burger

    Spread mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Layer with lettuce, the cooked patty with melted cheese, tomato, red onion, and pickles. Top with the other half of the bun.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the Sickies Burger hot with your favorite sides.
