Burger Ingredients

Secret Sauce Ingredients

Method

Preparing the Secret Sauce

  1. 1

    Make the Secret Sauce

    In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, ketchup, Dijon mustard, pickle relish, garlic powder, and onion powder. Set aside.

Cooking the Burger

  1. 2

    Prepare the Burger Patties

    In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Form into two equal-sized patties.

  2. 3

    Cook the Patties

    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Once hot, add the burger patties and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side or until desired doneness.

  3. 4

    Add Toppings

    In the last minute of cooking, top each patty with a slice of cheddar cheese and allow it to melt. If using, cook the bacon in a separate pan until crispy.

  4. 5

    Cook the Mushrooms

    In the same skillet, add sliced mushrooms and sauté until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.

  5. 6

    Assemble the Burger

    Toast the burger buns lightly. Spread the secret sauce on both sides of the bun. Place the cheese-topped burger patty on the bottom bun, add mushrooms and bacon, and top with the other half of the bun.
