  • 6 oz 80/20 ground beef divided into two meatballs
  • 2 sesame seed brioche buns use two bottoms and just one top
  • 2 slices American cheese
  • 1/4 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1 Tbsp rehydrated minced onion use 1/2 cup water to rehydrate
  • SPG (salt, pepper, garlic) seasoning to taste
  • 3 deli style dill pickles
Special Sauce
  • 1 cup mayo
  • 1/4 cup sweet pickle relish
  • 1 tsp Dill pickle juice
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp yellow mustard
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp ketchup
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder

Method
 

  1. Heat the flat top to 350°F. Preheat the smasher on the flat top.
  2. Mix all the ingredients for the special sauce together. Rehydrate the onions.
  3. Place one ball of meat on the flat top and place a piece of parchment paper over top of it. Smash the burger until it is flat using the smasher. Season with a salt, pepper and garlic (SPG) mixture.
  4. Flip the burger when you see the fat rendering out and bubbling in the interior of the burger. This is referred to as getting lacey.
  5. Immediately add a slice of cheese so the cheese can melt a little on the griddle.
  6. Remove the burger patty when it's well done and repeat with the second patty.
  7. Take one of the bottoms of the buns and spread with special sauce. Add shredded lettuce.
  8. Place one patty on top of the lettuce and add more special sauce and minced onions. Add the other bottom bun on top.
  9. On the second bottom bun, repeat with the special sauce, shredded lettuce, burger patty, special sauce, and onions.
  10. Place three deli style pickles on top and cover with the top of the bun.
  11. Admire and enjoy!
