Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 Schweid & Sons hamburger patties two per burger
  • 4 sesame seed hamburger buns I used Martin’s Famous
  • Kraft Deli Deluxe american cheese slices
  • seasoning salt I use Lawry’s or Morton’s
  • cracked pepper
  • hot sauce
  • mayonnaise
  • ketchup
  • lettuce
  • tomato
  • red onion
  • pickles
  • grilled onions they saute them in clarified butter
  • mushrooms they saute them in clarified butter
  • bacon pro tip: chop them small and put between cheese slices

Instructions

  1. Warm up your skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
  2. Arrange a clean surface covered with plastic wrap and place one patty on it. Cover the patty loosely with seran wrap and press it firmly using a burger press or the bottom of a stainless steel pan to form a thin patty about 6 inch in diameter.
  3. Sprinkle seasoning salt and cracked pepper on top of the patty. Repeat for all patties, separating them with parchment or wax paper.
  4. Put up to two patties on the hot skillet without overlapping and add seasoning salt and pepper to the cooked side. Let them cook for 3 to 4 minutes.
  5. While the burgers cook, lightly toast the buns face down on a separate skillet over medium-low heat until slightly toasted but not browned.
  6. Flip the patties and press on them firmly to create a good sear. Continue cooking for 3 to 5 minutes depending on your desired doneness.
  7. Take patties off the heat and place cheese slices on each one. Stack two patties together with cheese in the middle to build the signature Five Guys burger.
  8. For assembling, spread a few shakes of hot sauce and a generous layer of mayo on the inside of the top bun. Spread ketchup in three ring shapes inside the bottom bun.
  9. Place the stacked patties on the bottom bun, add any optional toppings, then cover with the top bun. Wrap each burger in foil and let them rest for 1 to 2 minutes to melt the cheese. Serve immediately and enjoy!
