Homemade cheeseburgers. An absolute summertime staple.

And it doesn’t require anything fancy. Just some good ole’ 80/20 ground chuck, salt and pepper (seasoning is absolute key here) and the most epic burger sauce to take your burger to the next level.

Serve with desired toppings (all the bread and butter pickles for me) on toasted brioche hamburger buns. And don’t forget to snag some good quality American cheese (or your favorite kind of cheese if American cheddar isn’t your thing).

Ingredients

  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup ketchup
  • 3 tablespoons dill pickle relish
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 pounds ground beef, 80/20
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 6 slices American cheese

For serving

  • Brioche hamburger buns, homemade or store-bought
  • Romaine or shredded lettuce
  • Sliced tomato
  • Sliced red onion
  • Dill pickle chips

Instructions

  • BURGER SAUCE: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup, dill pickle relish and Dijon; set aside.
  • In a large bowl, combine beef, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper. Using a wooden spoon or clean hands, stir until well combined. Gently form into 6 1-inch-thick patties, about the size of the hamburger buns.
