Burger Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Make the Special Sauce

    In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to use.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Patties

    Form the ground beef into four equal patties. Season each side with salt and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Cook the Patties

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they reach your desired doneness.

  4. 4

    Melt the Cheese

    During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of Tillamook cheddar cheese on each patty and cover to melt.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burgers

    Toast the burger buns if desired. Spread Shari’s special sauce on the bottom bun, add the lettuce, tomato slices, onion slices, pickles, and the cooked patty with melted cheese. Top with the other half of the bun.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the burgers immediately with your favorite sides.
