Ingredients
- 1 sesame seed burger bun
- 2 beef patties (about 4 oz each)
- 1 grilled sausage (pork, beef, or chicken)
- 2 slices cheddar cheese
- 1 slice grilled onion
- Pickles (optional)
- Mustard or your favorite burger sauce
Optional Add-Ons

How to Make the Ultimate Burger
- Cook the Patties
Season beef patties with salt and pepper. Grill or sear in a hot skillet for about 4 minutes per side (medium doneness). Add cheddar slices on top of each patty in the last minute of cooking. - Grill the Sausage
Place your sausage on the grill over medium heat. Turn occasionally until browned and cooked through. Slice it in half lengthwise or into chunks to fit the burger. - Toast the Bun
Lightly toast your burger bun cut-side down on the grill or in a dry pan until crisp and golden. - Assemble
Start with the bottom bun, then layer:- First beef patty with cheddar
- Second beef patty with cheddar
- Grilled sausage
- Grilled onion slice
- Pickles (optional)
- Top It Off
Spread mustard or your favorite sauce on the top bun, then cap your burger stack. - Serve Hot & Enjoy
Plate it up with chips, fries, or a fresh salad and dig in.
Pro Tips for Burger Perfection
- Rest the Patties: Let them sit for 2 minutes off the heat so juices stay inside.
- Cut the Sausage to Size: It should fit neatly without overwhelming the bite.
- Go Bold with Sauce: Garlic aioli, chipotle mayo, or even BBQ sauce are amazing alternatives to plain mustard.
What to Serve With It
This burger pairs beautifully with:
- Crockpot Nacho Dip – as a pre-burger snack
- Blueberry Lemonade – to cool down the savory heat
- Pumpkin Spice Muffins – yes, dessert after a burger is a thing
- No-Bake Monster Cookie Energy Balls – a sweet post-burger snack
