The Genius, Rule-Breaking Secret to Better Burgers

This burger recipe has a juicy beef patty, a secret sauce, and classic toppings that make the burger taste irresistible. The secret is in the perfectly seasoned patty and the unique sauce that makes it even better.

Ingredients:

• 1 pound ground beef 80% lean
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 burger buns
• 4 slices of cheddar cheese
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons ketchup
• 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
• 1 cup shredded lettuce
• 1 tomato, sliced
• 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
• 4 pickle slices

Instructions:

Set your grill or griddle on the stove to medium-high heat

Split the ground beef into 4 equal pieces and shape them into burger patties while the grill heats up

Add salt and black pepper to each patty to taste

A medium-rare burger needs to be cooked for four to five minutes on each side on a grill or griddle

Change the cooking time to get the doneness you want

Cover the grill and add a slice of cheddar cheese to top of each patty in the last minute of cooking

This will melt the cheese

Split the burger buns in half and toast them on the grill until they are just barely crispy while the burgers are cooking

Put mayonnaise, ketchup, and yellow mustard in a small bowl and mix them together to make the burger sauce

Spread a lot of burger sauce on the bottom half of each bun before putting the burgers together

Put a lettuce leaf on top of the sauce, then the cooked burger patty with cheese on top of that

On top of the patty, put a tomato slice, a red onion slice, and a pickle slice

Put the other half of the bun on top, and your burger is ready to be served
