DIRECTIONS
1. | Thaw the hamburger buns according to the package directions. |
2. | Bake or steam the patties according to the package directions. Overcooking will cause the patties to be dry. Prepare in batches to maintain quality. 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. |
4. | Cover the pan with aluminum foil, if holding the patties for service. Cut holes in the foil and place in warmer until ready for assembly. CCP: Hold and maintain the product at a minimum temperature of 135 degrees F. |
5. | TRIMMINGS:
CCP: Hold under refrigeration (41 degrees F or lower) until ready for service. |
6. | SANDWICH ASSEMBLY:
Serve immediately, or cover the pan with a lid, aluminum foil, or plastic wrap until ready for service. If 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: Cover and hold for service at 135 degrees F or higher. |
7. | Portion one cheeseburger with trimmings per serving. Alternate instructions: Cheeseburgers can be assembled on the service line. CCP: Hold and maintain the product at a minimum temperature of 135 degrees F or higher. Check temperature every 30 minutes. Unassembled leftovers should be covered, labeled, and dated. Quick chill within 2 hours to 70 degrees F or lower and from 70 to 41 degrees F or lower within an additional 4 hours. Leftover assembled sandwiches do not have good quality when reheated. For best quality, assembled sandwiches should be discarded. |
