Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.25 pound Ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 1 piece Sesame seed hamburger bun
- 1 tablespoon Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Ketchup
- 3 pieces Pickle slices
- 2 pieces Tomato slices
- 0.25 cup Iceberg lettuce (shredded)
- 2 rings White onion (sliced into rings)
- 1 piece American cheese slice
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat a grill or grill pan to high heat.
Form the ground beef into a thin patty slightly larger than the diameter of the bun.
Season both sides of the patty with salt and black pepper.
Place the beef patty onto the hot grill and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness, with grill marks visible.
Open the sesame seed bun and lightly toast the inside surfaces on the grill for 1-2 minutes or until slightly browned.
Spread mayonnaise evenly on the top half of the toasted bun.
Spread ketchup evenly on the bottom half of the toasted bun.
Assemble the burger by layering shredded lettuce on the bottom half of the bun.
Place the grilled patty on top of the lettuce.
Add a slice of American cheese on top of the patty (optional, if you want a cheeseburger).
Place three pickle slices on top of the cheese, followed by two tomato slices.
Add two onion rings on top of the tomatoes.
Carefully place the top half of the bun (with mayonnaise) on top to complete the burger.
Serve immediately with your choice of side dishes, such as fries.
