Burger Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Secret Sauce

    In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, and garlic powder. Adjust seasoning with salt to taste. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the ground beef into two equal portions and gently form into balls. Do not overwork the meat.

  3. 3

    Cook the Patties

    Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the beef balls onto the skillet and smash them down with a spatula to form thin patties. Season with salt and black pepper. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until a crust forms, then flip the patties.

  4. 4

    Add Cheese

    Immediately after flipping, place a slice of American cheese on each patty and cover for about 1 minute until the cheese melts.

  5. 5

    Toast the Buns

    While the cheese is melting, slice the sesame seed buns and toast them on the skillet until golden brown.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Burger

    Spread the secret sauce on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Place the first patty with melted cheese, followed by onions, pickles, and shredded lettuce. Top with the second patty and finish with the top half of the bun.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve the Mac Daddy Burger immediately with your favorite sides.
