Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patties

    In a mixing bowl, combine the Black Angus ground beef with salt and black pepper. Gently mix to combine and form into 4 equal-sized patties.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

    Preheat a grill or stovetop skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired doneness.

  3. 3

    Add Cheese

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

  4. 4

    Toast the Buns

    While the patties are cooking, toast the burger buns on the grill or skillet until golden brown.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burgers

    On the bottom half of each bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the cooked patty with melted cheese, a slice of tomato, and a few rings of onion. Add ketchup and mustard to taste, then top with the other half of the bun.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the Tavern Burgers immediately with your choice of sides.
