King Burger Recipe

Prepare the patties

In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently to combine without overworking the meat.

Divide the mixture into 4 equal parts and shape them into 4 thin, round patties, slightly larger than the diameter of the burger buns. Press a small indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing during cooking.

Preheat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Cook each patty for 3-4 minutes per side or until desired doneness. Place a cheddar cheese slice on two of the patties during the last minute of cooking to melt.

In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, ketchup, sweet pickle relish, yellow mustard, garlic powder, and paprika until well combined. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.

Slice the burger buns in half. Spread butter on the cut sides and toast them in a skillet or under a broiler until golden brown.

Spread king sauce on the bottom bun. Place a lettuce leaf and 2 tomato slices over the sauce.

Place one cheese-topped patty on the tomato, then stack a second plain patty on top.

Add pickle slices on top of the second patty. Spread more king sauce on the top bun and close the burger.

Repeat the assembly for the second burger.
