Burger Ingredients

Optional Toppings

Method

Cooking the Burger

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef Patty

    In a bowl, season the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Form the beef into a patty about 1 inch thick.

  2. 2

    Chargrill the Patty

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Place the patty on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness.

  3. 3

    Add Cheese (Optional)

    If using cheese, place a slice on top of the patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.

Preparing the Toppings

  1. 4

    Cook Bacon (Optional)

    In a skillet, cook bacon until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  2. 5

    Sauté Onions and Mushrooms (Optional)

    In the same skillet, add onions and mushrooms, cooking over medium heat until softened, about 5 minutes.

Assembling the Burger

  1. 6

    Build Your Burger

    Place the chargrilled patty on the sandwich roll. Add optional toppings like cheese, bacon, sautéed onions, and mushrooms as desired. Serve immediately.
