Ingredients

for the burgers-

  • 2 lbs. 80/20 Ground Chuck or Ground Beef of choice
  • 2 tablespoons Gourmet Burger Seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1/4 cup BBQ sauce

for the secret sauce-

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 1/4 cup dill pickles finely diced
  • 1 tablespoon dill pickle juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 8 slices cheddar cheese
  • 4 potato hamburger buns
  • lettuce
  • tomato
  • red onion etc.

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, mix Ground Beef, burger seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, and BBQ sauce together until well combined.
  • Line a 4-inch wide lid with plastic wrap. Add a few spoonfuls of hamburger mixture to the lid and fold plastic wrap over the top to press and mold the burger patty. Unwrap from plastic wrap and place onto a plate or platter. Continue this process until you have created 8 patties, about 1/4 pound each, 1/3-1/2 inch thick, 4 inches across.
  • Cover and refrigerate for about 1 hour. (This will help the burgers keep their shape on the grill)
  • While burgers are resting, make the secret sauce: stir mayonnaise together with ketchup, pickles, pickle juice, ground pepper, and garlic powder. Place in refrigerator.
  • Also, prep your burger toppings: slice tomatoes, wash and tear lettuce, slice the onion, etc.
  • To grill, place each burger onto preheated grill. Cook 3 minutes on one side and then flip. Add cheddar cheese slices on each patty, cover and cook 1 minute. Turn grill off and then continue cooking another 3 minutes or until burgers register 160 degrees F.
  • Stack two burgers* together and place onto hamburger buns. Add plenty of secret sauce and any other desired toppings. Enjoy!

Notes

*To lighten up the recipe, make with only one lean beef patty.
