Bun

Method

Prepare Burger Sauce

  1. 1

    Mix the Sauce

    In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, and pickle juice. Stir until well mixed and set aside.

Form the Burger Patties

  1. 2

    Prepare the Beef

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground Angus beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently to combine without overworking the meat.

  2. 3

    Shape the Patties

    Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape each into a patty, about ¾ inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to help them cook evenly.

Cook the Burger Patties

  1. 4

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat until hot.

  2. 5

    Grill the Patties

    Place the patties on the hot grill or skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes.

  3. 6

    Add Cheese

    In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty to melt.

Assemble the Cheeseburger

  1. 7

    Prepare the Buns

    Toast the brioche buns lightly on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

  2. 8

    Layer the Toppings

    Spread a generous amount of burger sauce on the bottom half of each bun. Place the lettuce leaves, followed by the cooked patty with melted cheese, sliced tomato, pickles, and onion on top.

  3. 9

    Complete the Burger

    Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately.
