1.

If the hamburgers are frozen, thaw them in the refrigerator.

CCP:  Hold under refrigeration (41 degrees F. or lower) until ready for assembly.

2.

HAMBURGER PATTIES:

Bake or steam the patties according to the package directions. Overcooking the patties will cause them to be dry.

CCP: Heat to 135 degrees F or higher for at least 15 seconds at the completion of the cooking process. If manufacturer instructions on the package or case have a higher temperature, follow those recommendations.

3.

Drain the liquid from the pan.
If holding the patties for assembly, cover the pan until ready for service. If aluminum foil or plastic wrap is used, cut holes in it to allow steam to escape. Place the pan in warmer until ready for service.

CCP:  Hold and maintain the product at a minimum temperature of 135 degrees F until ready for assembly.

4.

Heat the bacon according to package directions.

5.

TRIMMINGS:

  • Rinse the tomatoes under cool running water, then drain them thoroughly.
  • Core and thinly slice the tomatoes (8 slices per tomato).
  • Portion 1/8 cup lettuce, 1 tomato slice, and 2 pickle slices in individual portion container. Cover and refrigerate until ready for service.
