Burger Patty Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Patty

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

  2. 2

    Form and Smash

    Divide the beef mixture into 2 equal portions and form into patties. Heat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Place the patties on the grill and press down with a spatula to flatten them. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until cooked to your desired doneness.

LFF Sauce Preparation

  1. 3

    Mix the Sauce

    In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Toppings Preparation

  1. 4

    Prepare the Toppings

    Slice the onion into thin rings. Wash and dry the lettuce leaves. Slice the pickles into thin rounds.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Assemble the Lachele

    On the bottom half of each sesame seed bun, spread a generous amount of LFF sauce. Place the smashed patty on top, followed by a slice of American cheese, pickles, onion rings, and lettuce. Finish with the top half of the bun.
