Sauce
- 1/4 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Yellow Mustard
- 2 tablespoons Dill Relish
- 1 teaspoon Chili Powder
Burgers
- 1 lb Ground Beef
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire Sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon Onion Powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
- Small Pinch Salt and Pepper
- 1/4 Sweet Onion, finely chopped
- 8 slices Cheddar or American Cheese
- 4 Burger Buns
- Oil for frying
- Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, ketchup, yellow mustard, dill relish, and chili powder until well combined. Set aside to allow flavors to meld.
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven temperature to 375ºF (190ºC) to prepare it for baking the assembled burgers later.
- Make the burger patties: In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef with Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix gently to incorporate without overworking the meat. Form this mixture into four thin, evenly sized patties and sprinkle a little salt on top of each.
- Pan-fry the patties: Heat a small amount of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry each burger patty for about 1.5 to 2 minutes per side until they are just under-cooked. This helps seal in the juices and prepares them for finishing in the oven.
- Assemble the burgers: On a large piece of foil, place the bottom half of a burger bun, add a slice of cheese, then a burger patty, followed by some finely chopped onions, 1-2 tablespoons of the prepared sauce, another slice of cheese, and finally the top bun. Wrap the foil securely around the burger to hold everything in place. Repeat this process for each burger.
- Bake the burgers: Place the foil-wrapped burgers on a baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes in the preheated oven, until the cheese is melted and the burgers are cooked to your preferred level of doneness.
- Serve: Carefully unwrap the foil packets and serve the burgers immediately while hot and juicy.
Notes
- Using thin patties ensures they cook evenly and quickly in the pan and oven.
- Wrapping burgers in foil keeps them moist during the baking process.
- You can customize the sauce by adjusting the chili powder for more or less heat.
- If you prefer, use American cheese for a creamier melt.
- These burgers can be served with your favorite sides such as fries or salad.
- Make sure not to overcook the patties during pan-frying since they finish cooking in the oven.
