Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patty

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently to avoid overworking the meat.

  2. 2

    Shape the Patty

    Form the beef mixture into a patty that is about ¾ inch thick, making a slight indentation in the center to prevent it from puffing up while cooking.

  3. 3

    Cook the Patty

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patty for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the patty is cooking, slice the tomato and red onion into thin slices. Rinse the lettuce leaves and pat them dry.

  5. 5

    Toast the Bun (optional)

    If desired, toast the sesame seed bun on the grill or in a toaster until lightly golden.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Burger

    Spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of the bun. Place the cooked patty on top, followed by the lettuce, tomato, red onion, pickles, ketchup, and mustard. Top with the other half of the bun.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve the Bayou Burger immediately with your favorite sides.
