Ingredients for Hamburger Hamburger Jack In The Box Jumbo Jack By Todd Wilbur

  • Hamburger Bun
  • Ground Beef
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 medium tomato, sliced

How to Make Hamburger Hamburger Jack In The Box Jumbo Jack By Todd Wilbur

  1. Preheat a large skillet over medium heat. Lightly toast the bottom bun face down for about 30 seconds per side. Set aside.
  2. Gently form the beef patty slightly larger than the bun (approximately 1/4 pound). Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  3. Cook the patty for 2-3 minutes per side, or until cooked to your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches at least 160°F (71°C).
  4. While the patty cooks, prepare your toppings: slice tomatoes, shred lettuce, and prepare onions and pickles.
  5. Build your burger from the bottom up: Place the toasted bottom bun on a plate. Spread half of the mayonnaise on the bottom bun.
  6. Top with the cooked beef patty, sliced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, pickles, and onions.
  7. Spread the remaining mayonnaise on the top bun and place it on top of the burger. Serve immediately and enjoy!
  8. *Optional: For an extra Jack in the Box experience, add a slice of cheese during the last minute of cooking the patty.*

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
