Burger Ingredients

Method

Burger Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patties

    Divide the ground beef into two equal portions and shape them into loose balls. Do not overwork the meat.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

    Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the beef balls onto the skillet. Using a spatula, smash each ball down into a thin patty. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until a crust forms, then flip.

  3. 3

    Add Cheese

    After flipping the patties, place a slice of American cheese on each patty. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Burger

    On the bottom half of a burger bun, layer the shaved lettuce, followed by the cooked patties with melted cheese, sliced onions, pickles, and drizzle the special sauce on top. Add the top half of the bun to complete.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the South House Burger immediately with your choice of sides.
