Prep Time: 20 - 50 minutes
Cook Time: 5 - 10 minutes

Ingredients:

Ground Chuck
Brisket
Bacon
Garlic Powder
Shredded Cheese, to taste
Salt and Pepper, to taste
Condiments of Your Coice
Buns of Your Choice (Suggested: Sourdough or Brioche), buttered

Additional Items:

• Large Bowl
• Basting Cover
• Using a Grill: Stainless Steel Griddle Topper
• Parchment Paper
• Burger Press
• Optional: Squeeze Bottle of Water

Directions:

Preheat your griddle or stainless steel griddle topper on high and then coat with vegetable oil.
In a large bowl, mix the meat into a burger blend.
Take 1/4 lb of burger blend and shape into a small ball (or two patties if you want to make a double). Continue until all burger blend is used.
Add each ball to the griddle and immediate press flat with a spatula.
Pro Tip: If using a burger press, place a piece of parchment on top of the burger ball, then press down with the burger press. This will keep the meat from sticking to the burger press.
Season patty with salt, pepper and garlic power.
Gill for two (2) minutes, then flip.
Place your buttered buns on the cooler side of the griddle.
Cover each patty with a hefty amount of shredded cheese. Make sure the cheese covers both patty and the and surrounding area.
With a basting cover, cover and grill for another 1-2 minutes.
Pro tip: a squeeze of water under the cover will help everything steam.
Remove everything from the griddle and build your burger with your favorite condiments. Feel free to fold over your crispy cheese skirt into the sandwich or simply let it hang out the sides. Enjoy!
