Method

Burger Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patties

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Form into two equal-sized patties.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

    Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes on one side. Flip and place a slice of American cheese on each patty. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the cheese is melted and the meat is cooked to your desired doneness.

  3. 3

    Toast the Buns

    While the patties are cooking, toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

Shack Sauce Preparation

  1. 4

    Mix the Sauce

    In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, Dijon mustard, pickle juice, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well until smooth.

Topping Preparation

  1. 5

    Prepare the Toppings

    Wash and shred the lettuce. Slice the tomato and onion into thin rings. Prepare pickles if not already sliced.

Assembling the Shack Stack

  1. 6

    Assemble the Burger

    Spread a generous amount of shack sauce on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Place the cooked beef patty with melted cheese on top. Add shredded lettuce, tomato slices, onion rings, and pickles. Top with the other half of the bun.
