Creating the perfect bite in every hamburger or sandwich comes down to how you stack it. Follow these simple steps to ensure a delicious and structurally sound masterpiece.
Ingredients:

- Cheese (cheddar, Swiss, American, etc.)
- Lettuce
- Tomato
- Onions (raw or caramelized)
- Additional toppings (optional)
Steps:
- Toast Your Bun - Begin with a sturdy, toasted bun to prevent sogginess.
- Spread Condiments - Apply your choice of condiments on the bottom bun to season the patty and protect the bun.
- Layer Lettuce and Tomato - Add lettuce to protect the bun from getting soggy from the tomato, then place the tomato slice on top for juiciness.
- Add the Patty - Place your cooked meat patty on top of the condiment-layered bottom bun.
- Melt the Cheese - Lay a slice of cheese on the hot patty to melt.
- More Condiments (Optional) - Spread any additional condiments on the inside of the top bun.
- Cap It Off - Place the top bun on your stack.
- Serve Immediately - For the best experience, enjoy your hamburger or sandwich right away.
Tips:
- Press Gently - Before serving, press down gently on the top bun to meld the ingredients slightly, making it easier to eat.
- Customize - Feel free to adjust the order or ingredients based on personal preference. The key is to balance flavors and textures while maintaining the structure.
