Gourmet Burger

 Retzlaff


Gourmet Burger

1 1/2 lbs. ground beef (80%-20%)

1 1/2 tsp. each salt and pepper

4 Brioche buns or Kaiser rolls

Toppings:

4 slices cheddar cheese

Butter leaf lettuce

2 large red beefsteak tomatoes

2 ripe avocados

1/2 lb. thick sliced bacon


Divide meat into 4 equal size portions. Form meat into patties.  Sprinkle burgers with salt and pepper. 

Grill or pan fry hamburgers until desired doneness.  Medium rare is an internal temperature of 145 degrees. This will take anywhere from 10-12 minutes per side,

Once the burgers are done, immediately top with cheese to melt. Let the burgers rest for 5-10 minutes. 

You can make the bacon while the burgers are cooking or even before.  Cook the bacon until crispy.  You can either cook the bacon on the stove top or in the oven at 450 degrees for 18-20 minutes.

Rinse and pat dry several leaves of the butter leaf lettuce.  

Wash and cut tomatoes into 1/4 inch slices.

Cut avocados in half lengthwise and remove the pit.  Slice both halves of each avocado.  

Note: Cut avocados right before service so they don't turn brown.

Assemble:

Bun, burger, cheese, tomato, lettuce, bacon, avocado.
