Classic Burger with Secret Sauce
makes 4 burgers
Burger Ingredients:
1-1/2 lb (80/20) ground beef
1 teaspoon Lawry’s salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
Toppings:
4 slices cheese
4 hamburger buns buttered and toasted
4 leaves of iceberg lettuce
1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
Hamburger dill pickles
1 tomato, sliced
Special Secret Sauce:
5 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 tablespoons ketchup
3 tablespoons dill relish
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
2 teaspoons finely diced onion
1/4 teaspoon mustard powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
Directions:
1. Shape the ground beef into 4 burger patties each about 4 inches in diameter. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
2. Prepare the special secret sauce. In a small bowl, mix all ingredients together until well-combined.
3. Grill the burgers on a medium-hot, well-oiled grill, or on a cast iron griddle for 4 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F. Avoid pressing the burgers down with the spatula forcing out the meat’s juices.
4. Once the burger has cooked, add a slice of cheese to each burger, and let it melt. Place the cooked burgers on a clean plate and let rest them for five minutes.
5. While the burgers are resting, grill the buns until just lightly toasted.
6. Assemble the burgers. Place a grilled patty on the toasted bun. Layer on the lettuce, red onion, hamburger dill slices, and a slice of tomato. Smear the top of the bun with the special secret sauce. Serve hot & enjoy!
