Gourmet Cheeseburger

1Prepare the Beef Patty In a bowl, mix together the ground beef (12 oz), breadcrumbs (¼ cup), egg (1), onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce (½ tsp), salt, and pepper until well combined.

2Shape the Patties Divide the beef mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, approximately 1/2 inch thick.

3Cook the Patties Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side, until they reach your desired level of doneness. Add a slice of cheddar cheese (4) on top of each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.

4Prepare the Special Sauce In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise (¼ cup), ketchup (2 tbsp), sweet pickle relish (1 tbsp), white vinegar (½ tsp), paprika (¼ tsp), garlic powder (¼ tsp), and onion powder (¼ tsp) until smooth.

5Assemble the Cheeseburgers Spread the special sauce on the bottom half of each hamburger bun. Place a lettuce leaf on top of the sauce, followed by a beef patty with melted cheese. Add tomato slices, red onion (½) slices, pickle slices (4), and the top half of the bun.
