Ingredients
  • ½ c. mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp. yellow mustard
  • 1 tbsp. ketchup
  • 1 tbsp. pickle relish
  • 2 tsp. apple cider vinegar
  • ½ tsp. garlic powder
  • ½ tsp. onion powder
  • ¼ tsp. paprika

  • 1 lb. ground beef
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tbsp. butter
  • 4 slices American cheese
  • 12 butterhead lettuce leaves
  • Sliced tomato
Instructions
  1. Make sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, yellow mustard, ketchup, pickle relish, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and salt.
  2. Make burgers: Form ground beef into 4 patties; season both sides with salt and pepper. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt butter. Add patties and cook until burgers are seared on the bottom, about 4 minutes. Flip burgers and cook until cooked through to your liking (about 4 minutes for medium), adding cheese during the last minute of cooking.
  3. Assemble burgers: Place cheeseburgers on top of large lettuce leaves and drizzle with special sauce. Top with sliced tomato and another piece of lettuce.
