Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20)
  • 3 sesame seed buns
  • 1 cup shredded iceberg lettuce
  • 6 dill pickle slices
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onions
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp ketchup
  • 1 tbsp mustard
  • 1 tbsp sweet pickle relish
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Special Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, relish, and garlic powder until smooth.
  2. Form Patties: Shape ground beef into three equal patties (about ¼ inch thick) and season both sides with salt and pepper.
