Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz (340g) ground beef (80/20)
  • salt, to taste
  • freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 12 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon mustard
  • freshly cracked black pepper to taste
  • Brioche Buns
  • 2 slices cheddar cheese
  • pickles
  • lettuce
  • onion, thinly sliced
  • tomato slices

Instructions

  1. Divide the ground meat into 3 oz (85g) portions. Roll each portion into balls. Place each ball between 2 pieces of parchment paper. Use the flat side of a mallet to flatten them into thin rounds.
  2. Make the sauce: Combine all of the ingredients together and mix well. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  3. Cook the Patties: Heat a cast iron skillet or a griddle over medium high heat. Season one side of the meat with salt and black pepper. Place the seasoned side down onto the hot pan and season the other side with salt and pepper. Cook 1-2 minutes and flip. Cook 30 seconds to a minute and top one of the burger patties with cheese. Place the other patty on top and remove from the pan.
  4. Assemble the Burgers: Toast the buns on the grill for about 30 seconds and transfer to a plate. Place a spoonful of sauce on the bottom bun and then top with lettuce, tomato, and onion. Add the double patties on top. Place pickles over the patties, more sauce and then the bun. Serve. Kali Orexi!
