Ingredients
| 4 hamburger buns Hamburger 6 Buns | |
| 1/3 cup Mayonnaise | |
| 2 Tbsp. Ketchup | |
| 2 Tbsp. Smokey BBQ sauce | |
| 1 Tbsp. Mustard | |
| Salt and Pepper | |
| 1.5 lb Ground Beef (preferably medium), divided into 8x 3oz balls | |
| 1 Tbsp. Canola or Vegetable oil | |
| 8 slices Cheddar Cheese (optional) | |
| 8 Dill Pickle slices, 1 Tbsp. juice reserved | |
| 1 Tomato, sliced in 4 | |
| 4 Red onions, thinly sliced | |
| 1 Cup Iceberg lettuce, thinly sliced | |
| 4 Tbsp. Butter, softened (optional) |
Instructions
| 1 | In a small bowl, combine mayo, ketchup, BBQ sauce, mustard, and 1 Tbsp. dill pickle juice. Set aside. |
| 2 | Heat a large electric griddle, cast iron griddle or large frying pan to medium-high heat. If necessary, work in batches of 4, so there is ample space to smash/flatten the patties. Season the ground beef balls generously with salt and pepper. |
| 3 | Oil the pan, and place the balls of ground beef on the griddle. Using a large heatproof spatula, press down firmly on each ball, smashing it into a patty. Leave patties untouched on the griddle about 3 minutes, until the edges are starting to brown and caramelize. Apply firm pressure to each as they cook. |
| 4 | Flip the patties and place cheese on top immediately. Patties will likely need only another 2 minutes on second side. Remove from griddle, and set aside warm place. Drain the fat and wipe griddle to repeat with remaining patties if required. |
| 5 | If desired, butter the interior slices of the buns, and toast on a clean griddle about 30-60 seconds, rotating frequently until evenly browned and toasted. |
| 6 | To assemble, spread 1-2 Tbsp. secret sauce on each half of the buns. Stack 2 patties on bottom bun, followed by sliced tomato, pickles, onion, shredded lettuce, and top bun. |
