Method

Prepare the Burger Patty

  1. 1

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently until just combined.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into burger patties, about 1 inch thick.

  3. 3

    Cook the Patties

    Preheat a grill or frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they reach the desired doneness.

Prepare the Special Sauce

    Combine Sauce Ingredients

    In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, ketchup, Dijon mustard, and finely chopped pickles until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste if needed.

Assemble the Burger

    Prepare the Buns

    Slice the burger buns in half. Optionally, toast them on the grill or in a toaster until lightly browned.

  2. 6

    Layer the Ingredients

    On the bottom half of each bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the cooked burger patty, a slice of cheddar cheese, and a few slices of tomato.

  3. 7

    Add the Sauce

    Spread a generous amount of the special sauce on the top half of the bun.

  4. 8

    Complete the Burger
