Ingredients:
Burger patties
- 1 lbs medium ground beef Get the good stuff!
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 tbs ground pepper
Burger Sauce
- 1/2 cup mayo
- 1 1/2 tbs ketchup
- 1 1/2 tsp Grainy mustard
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 Dill pickle, diced
Burger Add ons
- 5 Buns
- 1 cup shredded iceberg lettuce
- 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
- 5 slices cheddar cheese
Instructions:
- In a bowl mix together beef, salt, and pepper. Roll the meat into palm sized balls. I was able to make 5 equal sized beef balls out of 1 lbs of beef. Place on a plate and pop into the fridge until you are ready to cook.
- In a bowl mix together all of the ingredients for the burger sauce. Place in fridge until ready to serve.
- Place a pan over medium high heat and remove beef from fridge. Once pan has reached temperature drop the beef ball into the center of the pan. If you do not own a burger press, place a spatula on top of the beef ball and using a wooden spoon push down to smash the burger. You want to press the patty flat to create lots of surface area. Allow the patty to fry for around 3 minutes or until a deep crust forms. Next, flip the burger patty and lay down the cheese. I like to drop a tablespoon of water into the pan and then cover the patty with a metal bowl. This helps the cheese melt!
- Fry all burger patties. Once this is done, build your burgers! Toast your buns and dress them as you like! Don't go shy on the burger sauce!
