Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb 80/20 ground beef
  • 4 sesame seed buns (5-inch)
  • 4 tsp mayonnaise
  • 4 tsp ketchup
  • 1 tsp yellow mustard
  • 8 dill pickle slices
  • 4 slices white onion
  • 1 large tomato, sliced into 4 rounds
  • 4 large leaves iceberg lettuce
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

Method
 

  1. Divide the ground beef into 4 equal portions (4 oz each), shape into 5-inch patties, press an indent in the center of each, and season both sides with the salt and black pepper.
  2. Heat the grill to 450°F to 500°F (230°C to 260°C), grill the patties for 3 to 4 minutes on the first side, flip once, and cook 2 to 3 more minutes until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
  3. Place the buns cut-side down on medium heat for about 1 minute until lightly golden.
  4. Spread 1 tsp mayonnaise on each top bun and 1 tsp ketchup plus 1/4 tsp mustard on each bottom bun.
  5. Layer a hot patty onto each bottom bun, top with 2 pickle slices, 1 onion slice, 1 tomato round, and 1 lettuce leaf, then set the top bun in place and serve immediately.

Notes

These patties cook fast, so have your toppings sliced and ready before the beef goes on the grill. If you're making these for a crowd, keep finished patties on a warm plate tented loosely with foil for up to 5 minutes, but don't let them sit much longer than that or the crust softens. Sesame buns vary a lot in quality; if yours are very soft, a slightly longer toast (90 seconds) helps them hold the build without compressing.
