How To Build A Great Burger

Now this is not an exact science, and everyone has an opinion on the subject but there is a reason for each layer. The idea is to have the stronger flavored ingredients separated from the mild flavored ones. Like the pickles not near the lettuce. The reasoning is you will be able to experience each ingredient better. If you are using cheese it's the glue and is always on top of the meat. This is the basic idea so put what ever you want on the burger and enjoy!

Steps

• The obvious place to start is with the bottom bun. I prefer it toasted because I like the texture but my husband likes his just warmed. Spread the condiments ketchup and mustard on the bun, but hold off on the Mayo to use on the top bun.
• Now place your pickles, on the bun bottom bun. The pickles will go under the meat so their stronger flavor will not overpower the more mild vegetables like the lettuce and tomatoes which are added latter.
• Place the meat on the pickles, if you are adding cheese have the cheese melted on top of the meat. Bacon can also be added at this time on top of the cheese if you like. The cheese is like glue to hold the other ingredients.
• The melted cheese will hold the tomato in place on top of the meat. Finish it off with the lettuce and onion on top.
• The final step is the Mayo on the underside of the top bun.
