  • Start by placing the first cheesy patty on the bottom bun, add a layer of lettuce, and a tomato slice.
  • Stack the second patty, adding more cheese, and repeat the layering process.
  • Place the third patty on the top and add onion rings.
  • Spread ketchup and mustard onto the top bun and crown your creation.
