Ingredients

Scale

1 lb 80/20 ground beef
4 slices American cheese
4 sesame seed burger buns
1 cup shredded iceberg lettuce
1 large ripe tomato, sliced
½ medium onion, thinly sliced
½ cup mayonnaise
2 tbsp ketchup
2 tbsp sweet pickle relish
1 tsp white vinegar

Instructions

Prepare the Secret Sauce by mixing mayonnaise, ketchup, relish, and vinegar in a bowl until smooth. Set aside.
Form quarter-pound patties from the ground beef without overworking the meat. Season with salt and pepper.
Preheat your grill or skillet to medium-high heat.
Cook the patties for about three minutes on one side before flipping. Add cheese on top after flipping and cover until melted (about one minute).
Toast burger buns lightly on the grill until golden brown.
Assemble each burger: spread secret sauce on the bottom bun, layer with lettuce, add the cheesy patty, top with tomato and onions, finish with more sauce and place the top bun.
