Method

Burger Patty Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patties

    In a bowl, gently mix the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Avoid overworking the meat to maintain tenderness.

  2. 2

    Shape the Patties

    Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into patties, slightly larger than the burger buns. Make a shallow indent in the center of each patty to prevent puffing while cooking.

Cooking the Patties

  1. 3

    Heat the Grill or Pan

    Preheat your grill or a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.

  2. 4

    Cook the Patties

    Place the patties on the grill or skillet. Cook for approximately 3-4 minutes on one side, then flip them. Place a slice of American cheese on each patty and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and the patty reaches your desired doneness.

Shack Sauce Preparation

  1. 5

    Mix the Sauce

    In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, yellow mustard, garlic powder, and paprika. Stir until well blended. Adjust seasoning to taste, if desired.

Burger Assembly

  1. 6

    Toast the Buns

    Lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

  2. 7

    Assemble the Burger

    Spread a tablespoon of Shack sauce on the bottom bun. Add the cooked patty with melted cheese, followed by lettuce, tomato slice, and pickles. Top with the other half of the bun.
