Calories: 607kcal
Ingredients
For the Burger
- 16 oz. beef chuck unground
- 2 slices smoked bacon
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 6 slices American cheese
- 3 kaiser-style buns
- unsalted butter
- ¼ onion sliced very thinly
- 1 dill pickle spear sliced very thinly
For the Sauce
- 2 Tbsp ketchup
- 2 Tbsp mayonnaise
- 4 Tbsp brown mustard
- 4-5 slices pickled jalapeno
- ½ dill pickle spear coarsely chopped
Instructions
- Using a meat grinder, grind the chuck and bacon together. Add the black pepper and mix until well combined. Shape into 6 evenly-sized flat patties.
- Grill on medium-high heat until cooked.
- Meanwhile, process the Sauce ingredients (ketchup, mayo, mustard, pickled jalapeno, and pickle) with a small food processor or immersion blender until completely smooth.
- Spread a small amount of unsalted butter on the inside portions of the buns. Place on the grill (butter side down) for 30-45 seconds.
- Remove buns from grill and spread a small amount of the Sauce on the buttered side of each bun.
- Assemble by placing thinly sliced onions and pickles on top of the bottom bun. Next alternate between 2 burger patties and 2 slices of American cheese. Place bun on top.
Notes
If you don't have a meat grinder at home, you can use ground chuck. Just chop the bacon into very fine pieces and mix it in with the chuck.
