Ingredients:
For the Burgers:
- 1.5 pounds ground beef (80% lean)
- 1 tablespoon Penalty Box BBQ Puck Seasoning
- 4 burger buns
- 4 slices of your favorite cheese (Cheddar, Swiss, or Gouda work well)
- Lettuce leaves
- Sliced tomatoes
- Sliced red onion
- Pickles (optional)
- Ketchup and mustard (optional)
- Cooking oil for grilling
For the Special Sauce:
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Penalty Box BBQ Puck Seasoning
Instructions:
-
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
-
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef and Penalty Box BBQ Puck Seasoning. Gently mix the seasoning into the meat, being careful not to overwork it, which can make the burgers tough.
-
Divide the seasoned meat into 4 equal portions and shape them into burger patties. Make an indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb; this helps the burgers cook evenly and prevent them from puffing up.
-
Brush the grill grates with oil to prevent sticking, and place the burger patties on the hot grill. Grill the burgers for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer for your desired level of doneness. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheese on each patty and let it melt.
-
While the burgers are cooking, prepare the special sauce by mixing the mayonnaise, ketchup, sweet pickle relish, white vinegar, and Penalty Box BBQ Puck Seasoning in a small bowl. Stir until well combined.
-
Toast the burger buns on the grill for about 1-2 minutes until they are lightly browned.
-
Assemble your burgers: Spread a generous amount of the special sauce on the bottom half of each bun. Place a lettuce leaf, a slice of tomato, and a slice of red onion on top of the sauce. Add the cooked burger patty with melted cheese on top.
-
If desired, add pickles, ketchup, and mustard, and then top with the other half of the bun.
-
Serve your Puck Seasoning Gourmet Burgers with your favorite sides, like coleslaw, potato chips, or a fresh garden salad.
