FAMOUS CHEESEBURGER FROM “THE MENU” MOVIE..🍔 available @ IRV’S BURGERS

Ingredients

• 8 oz Ground Beef (80% lean, 20% fat for juiciness)
• 2 slices American Cheese (Individually wrapped, full‑fat)
• 2 pieces Sesame Burger Buns (Soft, toasted lightly before assembling)
• 1/4 cup Yellow Onion (Thinly sliced, caramelized on the grill)
• 4 slices Pickles (Dill, thinly sliced)
• 1 tbsp Mayonnaise (Base for secret sauce)
• 1 tbsp Ketchup
• 1 tsp Dijon Mustard
• 1 tbsp Butter (For toasting buns)
• 1 tsp Olive Oil (Lightly coat grill pan)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Secret Sauce

   In a small mixing bowl combine mayonnaise, ketchup, and Dijon mustard. Stir until smooth and set aside.

   Time: PT2M

2. Form the Beef Patties

   Divide the 8 oz of ground beef into two equal portions (about 4 oz each). Gently shape each into a flat round patty slightly larger than the bun; make a small indentation in the center to prevent bulging.

   Time: PT4M

3. Slice and Caramelize Onions

   Thinly slice the yellow onion. Heat the grill pan over medium‑high heat, add 1 tsp olive oil, then add the onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until they turn golden‑brown and slightly sweet.

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: Medium‑high

4. Toast the Buns

   Spread 1 tbsp butter on the cut sides of each sesame bun. Place them butter‑side‑down in the hot pan for 30‑45 seconds until lightly golden.

   Time: PT2M

   Temperature: Medium

5. Cook the Beef Patties

   Increase heat to high. Add a tiny drizzle of oil to the pan, then place the patties. Cook 3 minutes on the first side, flip, add a slice of American cheese on each patty, and cook another 2‑3 minutes for medium‑rare (or longer for desired doneness).

   Time: PT6M

   Temperature: High

6. Assemble the Burger

   Spread a thin layer of the secret sauce on the bottom bun. Add the first cheese‑topped patty, a layer of caramelized onions, pickles, then the second patty. Top with the remaining bun, sauce side down.

   Time: PT2M

7. Serve Immediately

   Serve the burger hot with optional fries or a side salad.

   Time: PT1M
