Burger Patty

Toppings

Bun

Method

Prepare Burger Patty

  1. 1

    Mix Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.

  2. 2

    Form Patties

    Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into burger patties, making a slight indentation in the center of each patty.

Cook Bacon and Mushrooms

  1. 3

    Cook Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Once cooked, transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain the excess grease.

  2. 4

    Sauté Mushrooms

    In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are golden brown and tender. Remove from heat.

Cook Burger Patties

  1. 5

    Grill or Pan-Fry

    In the same skillet or on a grill, cook the burger patties over medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium doneness. Add a slice of cheese on top of each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.

Assemble Burger

  1. 6

    Build the Burger

    On the bottom half of each burger bun, spread mayonnaise. Place the lettuce leaf, then the burger patty with melted cheese, followed by sautéed mushrooms, crispy bacon, tomato slice, and onion rings. Top with the other half of the bun.
