Memorial Day Burger

Enjoy these tasty burgers on Memorial Day. They are grilled and come with American cheese, a special sauce, and other classic toppings. Perfect for your barbecue outside!

Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground beef
• 4 hamburger buns
• 4 slices of American cheese
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 1/4 cup ketchup
• 1/4 cup diced red onion
• 1/4 cup lettuce leaves
• 1/4 cup sliced pickles
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Instructions:

Warm up the grill over medium-high heat

Shape the ground beef into 4 burger patties that are all the same size

Add pepper and salt

Use vegetable oil to brush on the grill grates to keep food from sticking

Put the burger patties on the grill and cook them for four to five minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer if you like them more done

In the last minute of cooking, cover the grill and add a slice of American cheese to each patty

This will melt the cheese

Before you start cooking the burgers, toast the buns on the grill until they are just barely brown

Put mayonnaise and ketchup in a small bowl and mix them together to make a unique sauce

Spread the special sauce on the bottom half of each toasted bun before putting the burgers together

Put a lettuce leaf on top of the sauce, then a burger patty with cheese that has melted on top of that

Put pickles and diced red onion on top of the burger patty

To finish your Memorial Day Burger, put the top half of the toasted bun on top of the other ingredients

Have a great Memorial Day cookout and serve the food hot
