Let’s make a Double Cheeseburger!

Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground Beef (80/20) (divided into four 4‑oz patties)
• 4 slices Cheddar Cheese (use sharp cheddar; can substitute American cheese)
• 1 large Yellow Onion (sliced into thin rings for grilling)
• 1 tsp Alregoni's Texas Salt and Pepper Blend (or use equal parts kosher salt and cracked black pepper)
• 2 tsp Yellow Mustard (for spiraling on each patty)
• 8 slices Pickles (dill) (thin slices)
• 1 medium Tomato (sliced)
• 1 cup Iceberg Lettuce (shredded)
• 2 pieces Burger Buns (Bio buns) (soft sandwich buns; can use any brioche or potato bun)
• 2 tbsp Mayonnaise (for the spread)
• 1 tbsp Ketchup (for the spread)
• 1 tsp Sweet Pickle Relish (for the spread)
• 1 sheet Parchment Paper (to line the griddle and wrap finished burgers)
• 1 spray Cooking Spray or Light Oil (optional for griddle)

Instructions

1. Preheat Griddle

   Set your griddle or flat‑top grill to 400°F and let it heat for about 5 minutes.

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: 400°F

2. Grill Onions

   Slice the yellow onion into thin rings, toss lightly with oil, lay parchment paper on the griddle and spread the rings in a single layer. Grill, stirring occasionally, until caramelized and soft, about 8 minutes.

   Time: PT8M

   Temperature: 400°F

3. Form & Season Patties

   Divide the 1 lb of ground beef into four 4‑oz balls, gently flatten to about ¾‑inch thickness. Season both sides with Alregoni’s Texas salt‑pepper blend (or ½ tsp each salt and pepper).

   Time: PT5M

4. Add Mustard Spiral

   Spoon about ½ tsp of yellow mustard onto the center of each patty and use the back of a spoon to swirl it outward in a spiral, ensuring the mustard coats the surface evenly.

   Time: PT2M

5. First Side Cooking

   Place the patties on the hot griddle (no oil needed if using parchment). Cook until the surface begins to sweat and release juices, roughly 3 minutes.

   Time: PT3M

   Temperature: 400°F

6. Flip & Add Cheese

   Flip each patty, immediately place a slice of cheddar on top, and cook another 3 minutes until the cheese melts and the second side is browned.

   Time: PT3M

   Temperature: 400°F

7. Toast Buns

   Slice the buns open, place the cut side down on the griddle and toast until golden, about 2 minutes.

   Time: PT2M

   Temperature: 400°F

8. Prepare the Spread

   In a small mixing bowl combine mayonnaise, ketchup, and sweet pickle relish. Stir until smooth.

   Time: PT2M

9. Assemble Burgers

   On the bottom bun spread a generous layer of the sauce, add pickles, a tomato slice, shredded lettuce, then stack two patties (each topped with extra grilled onions). Top with the bun. Repeat for the second burger.

   Time: PT5M

10. Wrap & Serve

    Wrap each finished burger in a piece of parchment paper to keep it warm and let the flavors meld. Serve immediately.

    Time: PT1M
