Method
Beef Patty
- 1
Form the patties
Divide the ground Angus beef into 4 equal portions (about 4 oz each). Gently shape each portion into a round patty, about ¾ inch thick. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb to prevent puffing during cooking.

Season both sides of the patties with salt and black pepper just before cooking.

Cook the patties
Preheat a grill or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 3–4 minutes on the first side. Flip and place one slice of cheddar cheese on top of each patty. Continue cooking for another 3–4 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the beef is cooked to your desired doneness (medium recommended).

Assemble the burgers
Spread about 1 tablespoon of the secret sauce on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Place a lettuce leaf on top, followed by a slice of tomato, the cooked beef patty with cheese, 3 pickle slices, and another spoonful of secret sauce on the top bun. Close the burger and serve immediately.
Secret Sauce

In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup, Dijon mustard, sweet pickle relish, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika until smooth and well combined.

Cover and refrigerate the sauce for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
