Ingredients

Burger (Fry) Sauce

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/3 cup ketchup
  • 1 Tablespoon dill pickle juice
  • 3/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Cheeseburgers

  • 2 pounds ground beef, 20% fat
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 Tablespoons salted butter divided
  • 6 slices cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)

Toppings

  • 6 Brioche hamburger buns
  • Green leaf lettuce
  • Sliced tomato
  • Sliced red onion
  • Dill pickle hamburger chips

Instructions

Burger (Fry) Sauce

  • Place the mayo and ketchup in a medium-size bowl. Whisk to combine. Add the dill pickle juice, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Whisk again to combine well. Cover bowl and place in fridge while you prepare the cheeseburgers.

For the Cheeseburgers

  • Gently form the ground beef into six 1-inch-thick patties. Place the patties on a large platter and season generously with salt and pepper, on each side.
  • Melt 1 Tablespoon of the butter, in a large cast iron skillet, over medium-high heat. Place only 3 of the patties in the skillet and cook until lightly charred or until desired doneness, about 4 minutes per side. Top with cheese and allow to melt. (You can place these patties in a 200-degree F. oven to keep warm, while the other patties cook.)
  • Repeat the cooking process in the skillet with remaining patties and cheese. Serve cheeseburgers on toasted brioche hamburger buns with burger sauce and desired toppings. Enjoy!
