Ingredients

  • 600 g Ground beef (80/20)
  • 4 slices American cheese
  • 4 pcs Brioche buns
  • 4 leaves Lettuce
  • 1 large Tomato
  • 8 slices Pickles
  • 1 medium Yellow onion
  • 60 g Mayonnaise
  • 30 ml Ketchup
  • 15 ml Yellow mustard

Instructions

  1. 1

    Form beef into 150g patties, slightly larger than buns

    💡 Patties shrink 20% during cooking

  2. 2

    Season generously with salt and pepper

    💡 Seasoning is essential for flavor

  3. 3

    Cook patties 3-4 minutes per side for medium doneness

    💡 Flip only once for even cooking

  4. 4

    Add cheese in last minute, cover to melt

    💡 Steam cheese for perfect melt

  5. 5

    Toast buns on cut sides

    💡 Toasted buns hold up to juices

  6. 6

    Layer sauce, lettuce, tomato, patty, pickles, onion

    💡 Layering affects texture - soft items next to bun

  7. 7

    Serve immediately while juices are still flowing

    💡 A great burger waits for no one
