Method

Burgers & Witches

  1. 1

    Prep and preheat

    Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly brush with olive oil.

  2. 2

    Form patties

    Divide the ground beef into two equal portions. Gently shape into two flat patties about 3–4 inches in diameter.

  3. 3

    Season patties

    Season both sides of each patty with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.

  4. 4

    Toast buns

    Slice the slider buns in half and toast the cut sides in the hot pan until lightly golden, about 1–2 minutes.

  5. 5

    Cook patties and melt cheese

    Cook patties 2–3 minutes per side. In the last minute of cooking, place a cheddar slice on each patty to melt. Cook until internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).

  6. 6

    Prepare relish

    In a small bowl, combine 0.25 cups thinly sliced red onion with 2 teaspoons relish.

  7. 7

    Assemble

    Spread aioli on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Top with a cheese-melted patty, then the onion relish. Cap with the top bun.

  8. 8

    Serve

    Serve immediately as two hobbit-sized burgers.
