THE MENU BURGER
As Ralph Fiennes put it, “I'll make you feel as if you're eating the first cheeseburger you ever ate. The cheap one your parents could barely afford.”
Time: 30 min | Difficulty: 1/5 | Servings: 2
1. Prepare the Burger Sauce
In a small bowl, mix together the mayo, ketchup, chopped pickles, pickle juice, garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper. Set aside.
2. Prep Your Burger Ingredients
Roll your burger meat into 3oz round balls. Try not to over handle. Chop your onion into thin slices and set aside.
3. Toast Your Buns
Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, melt the ghee or butter in your pan and toast your buns. You should toast each bun for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Set aside.
4. Crank Up the Heat
Once your buns are toasted, wipe your pan and turn the heat to high. You want your pan VERY hot. You can test it by flicking water and seeing if the droplets bead up and glide across the skillet.
5. Smash and Season
Place one of your ground meatballs on the pan (no oil needed), top with a piece of parchment paper, and press down with a strong spatula. You want your patty to be about ½ in thick and then remove the parchment paper right away (this helps the meat not stick to your spatula).
Season the raw side of your burger with salt and pepper and add your onion to the top. Cook for about 2-3 minutes or until it starts to brown and get crispy.
6. Flip
Flip your patty and immediately add two slices of American cheese.
7. Make the Other Patties
Repeat with the remaining burger patties.
8. Assemble the Cheeseburgers
Once your patties are cooked, place 4 pickle slices on your bottom bun, top with 2 of your cooked burger patties, add your sauce, top bun, and enjoy!
