Burger Patty

Toppings

Special Sauce

Method

Prepare the Special Sauce

  1. 1

    Mix the Sauce Ingredients

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

Prepare the Burger Patty

  1. 2

    Season the Ground Beef

    In a mixing bowl, add the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently until just combined.

  2. 3

    Form the Patties

    Divide the beef mixture into two equal portions and shape each portion into a round patty, about 1 inch thick.

Cook the Burger

  1. 4

    Grill or Pan-Fry 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 level of doneness.

Assemble the Burger

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the patties are cooking, wash the lettuce leaves and slice the tomato into thick slices.

  2. 6

    Toast the Buns

    If desired, lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster.

  3. 7

    Build Your Lucky Burger

    On the bottom half of each bun, spread a generous amount of the special sauce. Place a cooked patty on top, followed by lettuce and tomato slices. Top with the other half of the bun.
