Burger Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef Patties

    In a bowl, season the ground beef with salt and pepper. Divide the beef into two equal portions and shape them into burger patties.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

    Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the burger patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.

  3. 3

    Add Cheese

    In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of Wisconsin cheddar cheese on each patty and cover to melt.

  4. 4

    Toast the Buns

    While the cheese is melting, toast the brioche buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burger

    Spread special sauce on the bottom half of the toasted bun. Place the cooked patty with melted cheese on top. Add dill pickles and bibb lettuce on top of the patty, then close with the top half of the bun.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the Dearborn Burger immediately with your choice of sides.
