Naked Burger

GROUND BEEF · MAYO · LETTUCE · PICKLES · TOMATO · ONION

Grill — Medium — IT 160°F

Burgers in their birthday suits? Skip the buns and accessorize with actual food instead. Pat your ground beef into 5-6oz burgers, about 1” thick. Season on the outside; no need to mix it in. Grill ‘em up or pan-fry in a little butter over medium heat. Some like burgers rare, but the USDA suggests you play it safe and go for 160°F on your instant-read thermometer. Dress your patties in cheese, pickles, avocado, tomatoes, and bacon. Try a fried egg if you’re feeling frisky. Getting naked never tasted so good.

(When in doubt, add butter and/or salt.)
