Cooking the Beef Patties

- Grill or pan-fry the patties over medium-high heat for about 3-4 minutes per side, cooking to your desired doneness.
- Place one slice each of cheddar, American, and Swiss cheese on top of each patty before they are done cooking, allowing the cheese to melt.
Toasting the Buns

Assembling the Burger

- Top it with a layer of crisp lettuce and a juicy slice of tomato.
- Gently place the second patty on top, followed by another layer of cheese.
- Add the third patty on top, finished with more cheese and a generous pile of crispy onion rings.
- Spread ketchup and mustard on the top bun and crown your masterpiece with it. Serve immediately.
