Ingredients

Step cooking

1. Classic hamburgers always use mayonnaise sauces. For today's dish, cocktail sauce is best. It perfectly emphasizes the taste of meat filling, at the same time without interrupting it. For cooking, take 3 tsp. mayonnaise and 2 tsp red barbecue sauce. Add 1 tsp to them. hot mustard and mix everything.
   
2. Cut one or two fresh tomatoes into rings 0.5 to 0.7 mm thick.
   
3. Prepare 3 ready-made cheese slices or chop finely 50 g of cheddar.
   
4. Fry the cheese slices on parchment, laid in a hot pan.
   
5. Two small pickled cucumbers cut diagonally into thin slices.
   
6. We cut three rolls lengthwise into 2 parts and slightly dry each part from the inside in a pan.
   
7. We start cooking cutlets: take the front part of the brisket (0.5 kg) with a sufficient fat content and grind in a meat grinder with a large grill. Such grinding will add granularity and juiciness to the finished product. Knead and beat the minced meat in a bowl to saturate it with oxygen and make it more uniform.
   
8. We form with our hands neat flat cutlets of the same thickness. To achieve the perfect shape, you can form items on the board.
   
9. We heat the pan and carefully lay out the patties. It is important that the pan is hot enough, then a crust forms immediately on the surface of the meat, preventing the juice from leaking out. You do not need to add oil, since the minced meat is rather fat. The corrugated surface of the pan contributes to the fact that the melted fat drains under the corrugation and does not interfere with the formation of a crust. Fry the meat on both sides to a medium degree of frying. Salt and pepper already at the ready stage.
   
10. Put the patties on paper towels to get the excess fat wet.
    
11. We grease both parts of the rolls with cocktail sauce. We begin to collect burgers: on a bottom half of a bun greased with sauce, put a lettuce leaf, and on top - a finished patty.
    
12. The next layer will be a piece of fried cheddar, a layer of chopped pickled cucumbers and circles of tomatoes.
    
13. We close everything with the bakery top - and the magnificent burgers are ready!
    

Did you know? When choosing buns, pay attention to the fact that they are dense enough, not wet, well kept in shape. The product should be lush and not too rich.
