Burger Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Burger Patties

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and form into two equal patties.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes on one side, then flip and place a slice of American cheese on each patty. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the cheese is melted and the patties reach your desired doneness.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Burgers

    Toast the burger buns lightly on the grill or in a toaster. Place a patty on each bun, then top with beer cheese, crispy-fried onions, and pickles. Place the top bun on and press down gently.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Serve the burgers hot with your favorite sides.
