˜Big Evil’ Cheeseburger

˜Big Evil’ Cheeseburger
Serves 4

For the sauce:

1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish
2 teaspoons finely minced onion
1 tablespoon ketchup
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 cup canola mayonnaise
Salt and pepper

For the burger:

1 pound ground beef (I used 90/10)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
4 slices of cheese (I use American or cheddar)
4 hamburger buns, toasted
1 cup shredded iceberg lettuce
1/2 cup finely sliced white onion
8 dill pickle slices
4 slices of tomato

In a small bowl combine all the ingredients for the sauce expect the mayonnaise and whisk until thoroughly combined. Add the mayonnaise and whisk until well mixed. Chill for at least four hours, and up to a week.

In a medium bowl combine the ground beef, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix until the spices are well incorporated and divide into four patties. Cover and chill for one hour.

Once rested cook on the grill over medium high heat until they reach your preferred level of doneness. I like mine around medium. Add the cheese to the burgers for the last few minutes of cooking to melt.

To assemble, spread sauce on both sides of the toasted bun. On the top bun put 1/4 of the lettuce and onions. Next add the pickles and tomato. Place the burger patty, cheese side down, on the top bun. Top with the bottom half of the bun.
