Ingredients
Scale
- For the Patty:
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend for ideal juiciness)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- For the Secret Sauce:
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 1 tablespoon pickle relish
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- For Assembling the Burger:
- 4 burger buns, toasted
- Fresh lettuce leaves
- Tomato slices
- Thinly sliced onions

Instructions
- Prepare the Secret Sauce: In a bowl, mix together mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, relish, vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Chill in the refrigerator to enhance flavors.
- Form and Cook the Patties: Heat a skillet over high heat. Divide ground beef into four equal-sized balls, season with salt and pepper. Place each ball onto the hot skillet and smash it into a thin patty. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until a crispy crust forms.
- Assemble the Burgers: Spread a generous amount of secret sauce on the bottom bun. Add lettuce, a tomato slice, the hot patty, onion slices, and pickles. Top with the other half of the bun.
Notes
- For added flavor, let the secret sauce sit for a few hours before using.
- Use a high-quality ground beef for the best taste.
