Method

Preparing the Burger Patty

  1. 1

    Mix the Ingredients

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

  2. 2

    Form Patties

    Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about ¾ inch thick.

Cooking the Burger

  1. 3

    Preheat Cooking Surface

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat.

  2. 4

    Cook the First Side

    Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip.

  3. 5

    Add Cheese and Cook

    Add your choice of cheese (Tillamook Sharp Cheddar or Tillamook Swiss) on top of each patty after flipping. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the burger reaches your desired doneness.

Assembling the Burger

  1. 6

    Toast the Bun

    Toast the burger bun on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

  2. 7

    Prepare the Bun

    Spread chipotle mayo on the bottom half of the toasted bun.

  3. 8

    Add Burger Patty

    Place the cooked burger patty on top of the mayo-covered bun.

  4. 9

    Add Toppings

    Top with lettuce, tomato slices, and pickles if desired.

  5. 10

    Complete the Burger

    Finish assembling the burger by placing the top half of the bun over the toppings.
