Directions

  1. 1Divide 1 lb of ground beef into four equal sections and shape each section into a round ball.
  2. 2Place the beef balls in the fridge while prepping the toppings (onion, tomato, lettuce, pickles).
  3. 3Add the beef balls to a super hot pan and flatten them out using parchment paper in between; or, use two spatulas.
  4. 4Carefully flatten the patties, ensuring they don't get too thin to prevent dryness.
  5. 5Top the patties with cheddar cheese and cover until melted.
  6. 6Remove from heat and toast the brioche buns.
  7. 7Combine mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, grated pickles, pickle juice, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper for the burger sauce.
  8. 8Assemble the burger, starting with lettuce on the bottom bun, then tomato (seasoned), patties, onions, pickles and top with the other bun.
