It's the Mac-Daddy of them all - the good ol' burger! For so many of us, two burgers topped with sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, and onions ("the works," as we still call it!), is a long-time favorite. Go ahead - give our homemade version a try!
What You'll Need
- 4 uncut sesame seed hamburger buns
- 8 thin hamburger patties
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/2 cup Thousand Island dressing
- 2 cup shredded lettuce
- 4 slices (4 ounces) American cheese
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 8 slices dill pickles
What to Do
-
Slice each hamburger bun horizontally into thirds; set aside. Form ground beef into eight thin patties.
-
In a large skillet, melt butter over medium-low heat and cook patties in batches 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until no longer pink.
-
Spread half of dressing over four bottom bun sections then sprinkle with half of lettuce. Place a cooked hamburger patty on each and top with a slice of cheese. Sprinkle onion over cheese then top with center bun section.
-
Spread remaining half of dressing over top of center bun sections then sprinkle with remaining half of lettuce. Top each with remaining hamburger patties, 2 dill pickles, and top bun section.
-
Serve, or wrap in waxed paper, then serve.
