Method
Burger Preparation
- 1
Form the Patty
In a mixing bowl, take the ground beef and gently form it into a patty about 4 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center to ensure even cooking.

Cook the Patty
Heat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Cook the patty for about 3-4 minutes on one side until a crust forms. Flip the patty, add the slice of American cheese on top and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes or until the cheese melts and the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C).

Assemble the Burger
On the bottom half of the brioche bun, spread the mayonnaise. Layer the lettuce, tomato slice, red onion, pickles, and finally place the cooked patty with melted cheese on top. Cover with the top half of the brioche bun.

Cook the Waffle Fries
