Grumpy Burger Recipe

1. Toast Bun

Spread butter on cut sides of the brioche bun and toast in a skillet over medium heat until golden brown.

2. Prepare Patty

Season the beef patty with salt and black pepper. Cook on a hot grill or skillet 3-5 minutes per side until browned and the internal temperature reaches 160°F.

3. Melt Cheese

During the last minute of cooking the patty, place two slices of white American cheese on top to melt.

4. Cook Bacon

In a separate pan, cook the bacon until crisp, then transfer to a plate lined with paper towels.

5. Assemble Aioli

Spread garlic aioli on the cut side of the bottom bun.

6. Build Burger

On the bottom bun, layer butter lettuce, sliced tomato, the cheese-melted patty, and bacon. Top with the other half of the brioche bun.

7. Fries Option

Prepare house fries: cut russet potatoes into 1/4-inch sticks, rinse, pat dry. Heat vegetable oil to 350°F and fry potatoes in batches until golden and crispy. Remove, drain on paper towels, and season with salt.

8. Side Salad Option

Prepare side salad: rinse mixed greens and pat dry. Tear greens into bite-sized pieces and arrange on a plate. Drizzle with salad dressing.

9. Plate the Grumpy Burger with your chosen side (fries or side salad) and serve immediately.
