If you’ve been following me for a while, you know that Sundays call for a solid finish. After last week Saturday’s pizza, the grill was fired up again on Sunday evening for a legendary cheeseburger. Honestly, there is no better fuel after a weekend on the boat than a backyard classic cooked over the flames.
The secret to a truly great burger is all in the build and the attention to detail. No overcomplicated nonsense, just high-quality ingredients that elevate each other:
- The Patty & Bacon: A perfectly juicy, grilled beef patty with a beautiful crust from the grates, hiding a few strips of crispy shared bacon underneath.
- The Melt: A generous slice of cheddar, melted perfectly over the meat.
- The Toppings: Crisp iceberg lettuce at the bottom (to keep your bun dry), a fresh slice of onion, and a thick, juicy slice of tomato on top to cut through the richness.
Naturally, we served this heavyweight with a side of golden, crispy fries. The perfect conclusion to an epic weekend!
How do you like your burger? Stick to classic cheddar or love to experiment with toppings?
