Ingredients

FOR THE BURGER SAUCE

  • ½ cup mayo
  • 2 tbsp ketchup
  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp mustard
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar
  • ½ tsp cumin
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika

FOR THE CHEESEBURGERS

  • 1 ½ lbs ground beef 80% fat
  • 1 onion thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • ½ tsp pepper
  • ½ tsp oregano
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • 4 slices American Cheese
  • 4 potato buns for serving toasted

OPTIONAL TOPPINGS

  • Lettuce
  • Tomato
  • Pickles

Instructions

  • First, put together the house burger sauce by combining all of the ingredients in a bowl and whisking together. Cover, and set the sauce aside.
  • Preheat your cast iron pan or griddle to medium-high heat (375-400 degrees F). No need to grease it.
  • Divide the ground beef into 4 equal quarters. Roll each quarter into a ball and cover with parchment paper or saran wrap. Then use a cast iron burger press to smash the patty flat. Repeat until you have 4 smashed patties.
  • Sprinkle each patty with Worcestershire sauce and top with the sliced onions.
  • Place the burgers into your pan or onto a griddle and cook until the meat is browned (or cooked to your liking). It shouldn’t take long, the patties should be rather thin and therefore will cook quickly. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and oregano. Top each patty with a slice of cheese.
  • When the patties are done and the cheese is sufficiently melted, place them onto toasted potato buns and add lettuce, tomato, pickles and house burger sauce.
