Ingredients
1 tablespoon butter
2 potato burger buns
1/2 pound ground beef
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Vegetable oil, for the skillet
4 slices deli-style yellow American cheese
Nancy's Special Sauce, recipe follows
2 thin slices red onion
8 pickle chips
2 slices beefsteak tomato
1 large leaf iceberg lettuce, torn in half
Nancy's Special Sauce:
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon ketchup
1 teaspoon yellow mustard
1 teaspoon pickle relish
1 teaspoon Sriracha
1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
Directions
- Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the butter. When it foams, add the bread, cut-side down, and toast until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Transfer the bread to a platter.
- Sprinkle the beef with salt and pepper and mix it in, using your hands. Shape the ground beef into four patties. Flatten the patties between sheets of wax paper to a 3/8-inch thickness. (The patties will be 1 1/2 times larger than your palms; it's ok if the edges look ragged, since the burgers shrink up a bit while cooking.)
- Wipe the skillet lightly with vegetable oil using a paper towel. Add the patties to the skillet and cook on the first side for 3 minutes. Flip, season again, and cook for 2 minutes. Top each patty with a slice of American cheese and cook 1 minute more.
- Smear the toasted buns on both sides with some of Nancy's Special Sauce. Stack a burger patty on top of each bun, add a slice of onion, then top with a second patty, followed by the pickles, tomatoes and lettuce. Cover with the top buns and eat with a napkin!
Nancy's Special Sauce:
- In a bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, relish, Sriracha and vinegar until well-combined.
