Instructions
- Preheat your grill or skillet to medium-high heat.

- Grill or cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.
- During the last minute of cooking, top each patty with a slice of cheddar cheese and let it melt.
- To make the secret sauce, mix equal parts ketchup, mayonnaise, and Dijon mustard, and add a little garlic powder and salt to taste.
- Assemble the burgers by spreading the sauce on the bottom half of the bun. Add the cooked patty, lettuce, pickles, and onion (if desired).
- Top with the other half of the bun and serve!
Notes
For a vegetarian version, substitute veggie patties or portobello mushrooms for the beef patty.
For extra spice, add jalapeños to the burger.
Feel free to experiment with different cheeses like American, Swiss, or blue cheese.
The secret sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge for up to a week.
Customize the sauce with hot sauce, barbecue sauce, or relish for more flavor.
