Burger Ingredients:
- 2 pounds lean ground beef
- 1.5 tablespoons Montreal steak spice
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 4 white hamburger buns
- 4 slices of cheese
- 2 cups shredded iceberg lettuce
- Sliced pickles
Burger Sauce Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons sweet relish
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 2 teaspoons yellow mustard
- 1 tablespoon minced onion
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions:
-
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef with Montreal steak spice and ground pepper. Add salt or any of your favourite seasonings to taste.
-
Divide the beef into 8 equal portions (about 1/4 pound each) and roll into balls. Chill them in the fridge while you prep everything else.
-
In a small bowl, stir together all burger sauce ingredients. Refrigerate until ready to use.
-
Preheat your Gridiron Pro Griddle on the BBQ. Toast the buns until golden and set aside.
-
Place the beef balls on the hot griddle. Using a piece of parchment paper and your Atlas Burger Stamp, smash each ball into a 1/4-inch-thick patty.
-
Sear for 2–3 minutes, then cover for 1 more minute to help them cook through. Flip, top 4 of the patties with cheese, and sear for another minute.
-
To double stack, place a cheese-topped patty on top of another and remove from heat.
-
Build your burgers: Spread burger sauce on the bottom bun, add shredded lettuce, your double-stacked patties, more sauce, extra lettuce, pickles, and the top bun.
