Burger Ingredients

1000 Island Dressing Ingredients

Method

Burger Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef Patty

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.

  2. 2

    Shape the Patties

    Divide the beef mixture into two equal portions and shape them into patties that are slightly larger than the bread slices, as they will shrink while cooking.

  3. 3

    Grill the Patties

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side until browned.

  4. 4

    Melt the Cheese

    Flip the patties and place a slice of Swiss cheese on one patty and a slice of Cheddar cheese on the other. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the patties are cooked to your desired doneness.

  5. 5

    Rest the Patties

    Remove the patties from the heat and let them rest for a minute while you prepare the bread.

Dressing Preparation

  1. 6

    Mix the Dressing

    In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, sweet pickle relish, white vinegar, garlic powder, and onion powder.

  2. 7

    Season the Dressing

    Stir until all ingredients are well mixed. Adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper to taste.

Assembly

  1. 8

    Butter the Bread

    Spread butter on one side of each slice of sourdough bread.

  2. 9

    Toast the Bread

    In the same skillet or grill used for the patties, place the sourdough slices butter-side down. Toast for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.

  3. 10

    Assemble the Burger

    On the toasted side of one slice, place the beef patty with Swiss cheese. On the other slice, spread a generous amount of 1000 Island dressing.

  4. 11

    Serve the Burger

    Close the sandwich and serve immediately with your favorite side dishes.
