Ingredients
Pickled Red Onions
- 1 small red onion, thinly sliced into rings
- 1 tsp granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/3 cup white wine vinegar
Burger Sauce
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp finely chopped bread and butter pickles
Cheeseburgers
- 1-1/2 lbs Country Natural Beef ground beef
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 4 sesame burger buns
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
- 4 slices cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded green leaf lettuce
- 16 bread and butter pickle slices
- Ketchup, optional
Instructions
- To make the pickled red onions: In a medium bowl, combine all the ingredients. Set aside for 1 hour, stirring occasionally, until onions are pickled. (Keeps for 1 week in the refrigerator.)
- To make the burger sauce: In a small bowl, combine all the ingredients. (Keeps for 1 week in the refrigerator.)
- Divide the ground beef into 4 equal portions and pat them into 4-inch disks. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper. Brush cut sides of burger buns with the butter.
- Grill the beef patties until both sides are nicely charred, turning occasionally, 5 to 6 minutes. About 1 minute before the burgers are done, place a slice of cheese on each one and grill the buns.
- Generously spread the burger sauce on both the top and bottom halves of the buns. On each bottom bun, layer the lettuce, cheeseburger patty, a pile of pickled onions and the bread and butter pickles. Add ketchup to the top bun, if desired, and serve.
