Description

A juicy, cheesy stacked burger made with seasoned beef patties, crisp lettuce, tomato, pickles, red onion, and a creamy burger sauce on toasted brioche buns.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef, ideally 80/20
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 4 brioche buns
  • 4 slices cheddar cheese
  • 4 large lettuce leaves
  • 1 medium tomato, sliced
  • 16 pickle chips
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 teaspoon yellow mustard

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Lightly toast the brioche buns until the cut sides are golden.
  2. In a small bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, ketchup, and yellow mustard until smooth.
  3. Season the ground beef with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Gently divide and shape into 4 patties.
  4. Place the patties in the hot skillet and cook for about 4 minutes on the first side.
  5. Flip the patties, top each one with a slice of cheddar cheese, and cook for 3 to 4 more minutes until the cheese melts and the burgers are cooked through to your preferred doneness.
  6. Spread the sauce on the toasted buns. Layer the bottom buns with lettuce, tomato, pickles, and red onion.
  7. Place each cheesy patty on the prepared buns, add the top buns, rest for 1 to 2 minutes, then serve warm.

Notes

  • Toast the buns to help prevent sogginess.
  • Do not overwork the beef or the patties can turn dense.
  • Prepare the sauce and slice the toppings ahead of time for faster assembly.
  • Cooked patties can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
