The Best Burger Recipe
Description
The Best Burger Recipe starts with mixing ground chuck beef with burger seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, and barbecue sauce to infuse the meat with moisture and flavor. The mixture is portioned and shaped into uniform patties using a lid and plastic wrap technique, then chilled to help them hold together during cooking.
On the grill, patties cook quickly, with cheddar slices added near the end to melt over the beef. Meanwhile, a secret sauce blends mayonnaise, ketchup, finely diced dill pickles, pickle juice, black pepper, and garlic powder for a creamy, tangy addition that enhances the burger’s savory profile.
Fresh toppings including lettuce, tomato, and red onion are prepared to provide crispness and brightness. The assembled burger balances smoky, cheesy, savory, and acidic elements. Adjusting the number or size of patties allows for lighter portions if desired.
Ingredients
for the burgers-
- 2 lbs. ground chuck 80/20, or ground beef of choice
- 2 tablespoons burger seasoning gourmet
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 cup BBQ sauce
for the secret sauce-
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 1/4 cup dill pickles finely diced
- 1 tablespoon dill pickle juice
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper ground
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 8 lices cheddar cheese
- 4 potato hamburger buns
- lettuce
- tomato
- red onion etc.
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix Ground Beef, burger seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, and BBQ sauce together until well combined.
- Line a 4-inch wide lid with plastic wrap. Add a few spoonfuls of hamburger mixture to the lid and fold plastic wrap over the top to press and mold the burger patty. Unwrap from plastic wrap and place onto a plate or platter. Continue this process until you have created 8 patties, about 1/4 pound each, 1/3-1/2 inch thick, 4 inches across.
- Cover and refrigerate for about 1 hour. (This will help the burgers keep their shape on the grill)
- While burgers are resting, make the secret sauce: stir mayonnaise together with ketchup, pickles, pickle juice, ground pepper, and garlic powder. Place in refrigerator.
- Also, prep your burger toppings: slice tomatoes, wash and tear lettuce, slice the onion, etc.
- To grill, place each burger onto preheated grill. Cook 3 minutes on one side and then flip. Add cheddar cheese slices on each patty, cover and cook 1 minute. Turn grill off and then continue cooking another 3 minutes or until burgers register 160 degrees F.
- Stack two burgers* together and place onto hamburger buns. Add plenty of secret sauce and any other desired toppings. Enjoy!
Notes
- To reduce richness or calories, prepare the burger with only one lean beef patty instead of two.
