Ingredients
For the Burger:
- 1 lb ground chuck beef 80/20 fat ratio
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
For the Buns
- 4 burger buns sesame seed hamburger buns
- 1/4 tablespoon butter softened
Travis Scott Burger Toppings:
- 8 lices cheddar cheese medium, thick sliced
- 4 Bacon strips
- 1/2 green leaf lettuce bunch
- 1/2 onion medium, thinly sliced
- 1/3 cup dill pickles sliced
- ketchup to taste
- mustard to taste
Optional for Servings:
- French Fries
- Sprite
- barbecue sauce
Instructions
- Prepare the toppings: Prepare the topping ingredients by washing lettuce and slicing onions.
- Cook the bacon strips in a skillet until crisp. Cut them into thinner strips if you prefer.
- Prepare the buns: Toast the buns on a skillet or grill until golden brown. Then spread softened butter on the cut-side of the buns. (You can toast buns first or in the last few minutes before the burgers are ready.)
- Cook the burger: Divide ground beef into 4 equal portions and form patties. Ideally you’d like to have patties that are about 1/2" thick and slightly wider than the burger buns.
- Season patties generously with salt and pepper.
- Use your thumb to make an indention in the middle of the patties.
- Heat a skillet or grill. Place the patties on the skillet or grill.
- Cook for about 4 minutes or until the juices are accumulating on top of the burger. Flip the burger and cook for about 4 minutes or until the internal temperature of beef reaches 160˚F.
- Add cheese on top of patties during the last 1-2 minutes.
- Assemble the burger: place the bottom bun on a plate. Then add a piece of cheddar, cheesy patties, bacon, onions, pickle slices, and lettuce.
- Spread ketchup and mustard on the top bun. Then add the top bun on top of the toppings.
- Serve hot with French fries, sprite, and barbeque sauce.
Notes
- Be sure to toast the buns as this will add great flavors to your burger as well as prevent a soggy bun.
- Use 80/20 ground chuck beef for the juiciest and tender burger.
