THE BEST EVER CHEESE BURGER And it doesn’t require anything fancy. Just some good ole’ 80/20 ground chuck, salt and pepper (seasoning is absolute key here) and the most epic burger sauce to take your burger to the next level. Serve with desired toppings (all the bread and butter pickles for me) on toasted brioche hamburger buns. And don’t forget to snag some good quality American cheese (or your favorite kind of cheese if American cheddar isn’t your thing).

C H R I S M . — A U G U S T 3 , 2 0 2 3 @ 5 : 0 9 A M REPLY Yes! After trying different amounts, we too have decided that 1/3 pound is the perfect amount for the perfect burger. Delicious!!! 3 . R E C I P E L A N D — M A Y 3 1 , 2 0 2 3 @ 5 : 4 9 A M REPLY Very nice and easy recipe to follow Thanks for sharing 4 .

N O A H — F E B R U A R Y 2 7 , 2 0 2 3 @ 2 : 3 2 P M REPLY this is the best burger i have ever had!!! 6 . L I N D A — F E B R U A R Y 1 0 , 2 0 2 3 @ 7 : 0 1 P M REPLY I made it tonight and thought it was delicious! Just a wonderful treat. Wish I could figure out where to put the sauce, bottom of the bun or on the top? Didn’t have lettuce so may be that is a factor in sauce placement. 7 . A N D R E A — J A N U A R Y 2 6 , 2 0 2 3 @ 4 : 2 7 P M REPLY I wasn’t sure I’d like the sauce, but when combined with the cheeseburger and brioche bun, it was delicious. I’d did make just one teeny substitution, based on my own personal preference, by adding 1 TBLS of sweet relish along with 2 TBLS of dill relish. 8 . J E R E M I A H — D E C E M B E R 1 0 , 2 0 2 2 @ 1 : 2 5 P M REPLY Was phenomenal man 9 . E V A N — A U G U S T 1 9 , 2 0 2 2 @ 3 : 0 4 P M REPLY Why do the images show leaf lettuce but ingredients say shredded? O E V A N I S I N C O M P E T E N T — S E P T E M B E R 1 1 , 2 0 2 2 @ 8 : 5 7 P M REPLY A - are you serious? It ’s a mistake, use common sense and decide, “Do I want shredded or leaf?” Pathetic complaint that a RECIPE needs to guide you 100%. O K I T T Y — A U G U S T 2 , 2 0 2 3 @ 6 : 2 5 A M REPLY They did it just to confuse you, Evan. 1 0 . R I C H E S P I N O Z A — A U G U S T 1 8 , 2 0 2 2 @ 8 : 4 9 A M REPLY Phenomenal! 1 1 . W E S — A U G U S T 1 7 , 2 0 2 2 @ 1 1 : 4 9 A M REPLY Great method and recipe to make the Burger this way I’ve been doing it for 35 yrs and always comes out like this picture and taste great. It beat the Fast Foods places all the time so making it this way will always taste good and come out just like this. 1 2 . C H R I S — A U G U S T 1 7 , 2 0 2 2 @ 6 : 0 2 A M REPLY Sounds like big Mac sauce. 1 3 . D A V I D H O F F M A N — A U G U S T 1 4 , 2 0 2 2 @ 1 0 : 1 8 A M REPLY Forget the top pings and sauces. IF you have actually cooked high quality ground beef patties correctly then they should taste great all by themselves on a toasted bun or sliced bread. O E R I C — A U G U S T 1 4 , 2 0 2 2 @ 4 : 5 5 P M REPLY This is the wrong take. 1 4 . B O N N Y P A Q U E T T E — A U G U S T 1 4 , 2 0 2 2 @ 8 : 3 5 A M REPLY I mad e this but changed the dill pickle chips for cucumber slices very food O M O N I C A — A U G U S T 1 6 , 2 0 2 2 @ 1 1 : 0 0 P M REPLY Ok, so I’ve definitely tried this before but the only thing we left out was the sauce. Look every burger has it’s own type of unique sauce ok, but the sauce for hot dogs you can’t go wrong with that either. If you know what I’m saying, aha. 1 5 . C A T H Y M T U C K E R — A U G U S T 1 4 , 2 0 2 2 @ 6 : 4 0 A M REPLY Looks so good 1 6 . B R E H A N A — A U G U S T 1 3 , 2 0 2 2 @ 6 : 4 4 A M REPLY Burgers are an all time favorite in our house. I look forward to making the sauce! We always make our burger and fries in our airfr yer. Makes for a crispy outside and moist inside. 18min typically does the trick.
