1 pack of 100% Grass-Fed Wagyu Beef Patties (3)

Salt & freshly ground black pepper

3 slices of Cheddar or melty cheese of choice

Sliced Village Farms Tomatoes

Lettuce or arugula

Optional: thinly sliced South Tex Organics Red Onion

1 clove garlic, grated

1 tsp lemon juice

Pinch of salt

For the Quick Pickles:
½ cup thinly sliced cucumber or radishes

¼ cup apple cider vinegar

Instructions:
Make the Quick Pickles:
In a small bowl, combine vinegar, honey, and salt. Add sliced cucumbers or radishes and let sit while you prepare the rest.

Mix the Garlic Aioli:
Stir together mayo, garlic, lemon juice, and salt. Chill until ready to use.

Smash the Patties:

Toast buns in the pan or oven until golden.

Assemble:
Spread garlic aioli on buns, layer with lettuce, tomato, burger, pickles, and onion if using. Serve hot with fries or a crisp Lone Star Lettuce salad.
