Prepare the Burger Sauce

  1. 1

    Mix the Sauce Ingredients

    In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, paprika, and salt. Mix until well blended and set aside.

    Prepare the Beef

    Divide the ground beef into 4 equal portions (about 4 oz each). Roll each portion into a ball.

    Heat a skillet or griddle over high heat. Once hot, place the beef balls in the skillet. Using a spatula, smash each ball down flat. Season with salt and pepper.

    After about 2-3 minutes, flip the patties and cook for another 2-3 minutes or until desired doneness is reached.

    Toast the burger buns in the skillet for about 1-2 minutes until golden brown.

    Layer the Ingredients

    Spread a generous amount of the burger sauce on the bottom bun. Place a patty, followed by lettuce, tomato slices, onion slices, pickles, and then the second patty on top. Finish with the top bun.
