  5. 5Top with cheddar cheese, cover, and cook until cheese melts.
  6. 6Remove from heat and toast the brioche buns.
  7. 7Make the burger sauce by combining mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, grated pickles, pickle juice, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper.
  8. 8Assemble the burger, starting with lettuce on the bottom bun, followed by tomato (seasoned), the cooked patty, onions, pickles, and the burger sauce.
