Ingredients

Scale

Burger Sauce

  • 1/4 Cup Mayonnaise
  • 2 Tablespoons Ketchup
  • 1 Tablespoon Yellow Mustard
  • 2 Tablespoons Dill Relish
  • 1 teaspoon Chili Powder

Burger Patties

  • 1 Lb Ground Beef
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon Onion Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
  • Small Pinch Salt and Pepper
  • 1/4 Sweet Onion, finely chopped

Assembly

  • 8 Slices Cheddar or American Cheese
  • 4 Burger Buns
  • Oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, thoroughly mix together mayonnaise, ketchup, yellow mustard, dill relish, and chili powder. Set this flavorful sauce aside for later assembly.
  2. Preheat the oven: Set your oven temperature to 375ºF (190ºC) so it’s ready for baking the assembled burgers.
  3. Make the patties and sear: In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef with Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Gently mix to combine without overworking the meat. Form the mixture into four thin burger patties and sprinkle a bit of salt on each. Heat a lightly oiled skillet over medium-high heat and fry the patties for about 3-4 minutes total, flipping once, so they are just under-cooked.
  4. Assemble the burgers: On a large piece of foil, place the bottom bun, then a slice of cheese, followed by a seared burger patty, a layer of finely chopped onions, 1 to 2 tablespoons of the prepared sauce, another slice of cheese, and finish with the top bun. Fold the foil edges up securely around the burger. Repeat for all four burgers.
  5. Bake the burgers: Place the foil-wrapped burgers on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes. This step melts the cheese thoroughly and ensures the burgers finish cooking to your preferred level of doneness.
  6. Serve: Carefully unwrap the foil and serve the hot, melty burgers immediately for the best flavor and texture experience.

Notes

  • For juicier patties, handle the meat gently and avoid pressing down during frying.
  • Adjust the chili powder in the sauce to your preferred spice level.
  • You can substitute cheddar cheese with American or your favorite melting cheese.
  • Wrapping burgers tightly in foil helps steam and melt the cheese while finishing the cook without drying out the meat.
  • If preferred, you can toast the buns before assembling for added texture.
