Ingredients
- 6 hamburger buns
- Mayonnaise
- 6 hamburger patties (frozen pre-made ones work just fine)
- Salt and pepper
- Lawry’s Seasoning Salt
- 6 slices medium cheddar cheese
- Lettuce leaves
- Thousand Island dressing
- Sliced tomatoes
- Ketchup and Mustard
Instructions
-
Spread a light amount of mayonnaise on each cut side of the hamburger buns. Set aside.
-
Fire up the grill to medium-high heat.
-
Lightly season burger patties on each side with salt, pepper, and seasoning salt.
-
Place the patties on the grill and cook for 3-4 minutes until browned with char marks. Flip the burgers to the other side and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes for medium-rare. Continue to cook until desired doneness.
-
Top the burgers with cheese if desired the last minute of cooking.
-
Toast the buns cut side down until golden brown and slightly charred.
-
To assemble the burger, spread a teaspoon or two of 1000 Island dressing over the bottom half bun. Next, layer the bun with couple pieces of lettuce, tomato, and burger patty.
-
Lightly drizzle a small amount of ketchup and mustard over the patty and top the burger with the top half of the bun.
