El Cortez Burger Recipe

Burger Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Patty

   In a mixing bowl, season the ground beef with salt and pepper. Form into a patty that is about 3/4 inch thick and slightly wider than the bun.

2. 2

   Cook the Bacon

   In a skillet over medium heat, cook the Nueske bacon until crispy. Remove and place on a paper towel to drain excess grease.

3. 3

   Charbroil the Patty

   Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patty for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness. Add the cheese slice during the last minute of cooking to melt.

4. 4

   Assemble the Burger

   Toast the burger bun lightly. On the bottom half, layer the Bibb lettuce, followed by the charbroiled patty with melted cheese, bacon, tomato slices, onion slices, and pickle slices. Top with the other half of the bun.

5. 5

   Serve

   Serve immediately with your choice of side.
