Ingredients:
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon mustard
1 tablespoon pickle relish
1 lb ground beef (preferably 80/20 lean to fat ratio)
Salt and pepper to taste
4 burger buns
4 slices of cheese (cheddar, American, or your preference)
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
2 tablespoons butter
Instructions:
Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, pickle relish, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder to create the confidential sauce. Set aside.
Divide the ground beef into 4 equal portions and shape them into balls.
Place a ball of ground beef onto the preheated skillet or griddle and immediately press down firmly with a spatula to smash it into a thin patty. Season with salt and pepper.
Cook the patties for 2-3 minutes on one side until nicely browned and crispy, then flip them over.
Place a slice of cheese on top of each patty and allow it to melt.
While the patties are cooking, spread a thin layer of the confidential sauce onto the bottom half of each burger bun.
Once the cheese is melted and the patties are cooked to your desired doneness, remove them from the skillet or griddle and place them on the prepared burger buns.
