Yield: 4 Burgers
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground Sirloin, Ground Beef or Ground Chuck
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground Black Pepper to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Onion Powder
- 1/2 cup Mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup Ketchup
- 2 tablespoons Sweet Relish
- 4 slices American Cheese
- 4 Sesame Seed Hamburger Buns
- 1/3 cup sliced Pickles
- 4 Lettuce Leaves

Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine ground sirloin, salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder. Mix with a wooden spoon or your hands until evenly incorporated.
- Divide mixture into 4 equal portions.
- Shape each portion into a thin patty. Place the patties on a parchment-lined baking sheet and place in freezer for 30 minutes to chill and help them hold their shape.
- Heat an indoor grill pan or outdoor grill, with the grates covered with aluminum foil, to high heat.
- Once hot, place frozen patties on the grill. Cook for about 4 minutes on the first side. Flip and cook for another 2 - 3 minutes on the second side.
- Turn off the heat or move patties to a cooler part of the grill and place a slice of American cheese on top of each patty to melt.
- Lightly toast the hamburger buns on grill.
- Spread mayonnaise on both halves of toasted buns.
- In a small bowl, combine ketchup and sweet relish. Mix well and set aside.
- On the bottom half of each bun, layer pickles, lettuce, tomato slices, onion slices and a cheesy burger patty.
- Spread the ketchup-relish sauce on the top half of the bun. Place top bun over the stack.
- Serve the burgers immediately and enjoy.
