Learn how to make the best All-American Cheeseburger. It's juicy, flavourful, and extremely easy to make.

Ingredients

Secret Burger Sauce

• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon ketchup
• 1/2 teaspoon dijon mustard
• 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/8 teaspoon paprika
• pinch of salt and pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon pickle juice

For the Burger

• 1 1/2 lb. ground beef 80/20 or 85/15
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
• salt and pepper, to taste
• TOPPINGS
• Burger buns/butter
• sliced tomatoes
• sliced red onion
• lettuce
• cheddar cheese slices
• pickles

Instructions

1. Take the meat out of the refrigerator 30 minutes before you are ready to cook it.
2. Make the secret sauce by adding all the sauce ingredients into a bowl. Mix until well combined.
3. Spread butter on each burger bun and toast while the patties are cooking.
4. Preheat a skillet on medium-high heat.
5. Season the beef with onion and garlic powder. Mix a few times to combine (DO NOT OVERMIX). Form the patties and season both sides with salt and pepper.
6. Cook the patties for about 2-3 minutes on each side until the patties reach 160 degrees F (cook for a couple of minutes longer if you like it well-done). Once the patties are ALMOST at your desired doneness, place the sliced cheese on top and let it melt.
7. Build the burger by adding the secret sauce to the top bun. Place the lettuce on the bottom bun, followed by the patty, tomato, onion, and pickle.
8. ENJOY!

Notes:

• 1 pound of meat yields 4 4oz patties or 3 6oz patties.
• 1 1/2 pounds of meat yields 4 6 oz patties or 6 4oz patties.
• I recommend using 100% grass-fed ground beef, if available, for better flavor.
