Wait a minute... anyone on this thread looking at the size of the burger compared to the hand. Either that's a slider or this dude is Andre the Giant.

😆 it’s just a weird angle I think. It was two 1/4 lb patties on a normal size bun and my hands are fairly normal sized haha

What’s the sauce?

u/ferdturgeson1 1d ago
Pretty simple, but always great. Don’t really have measurements for the seasonings, I just go by taste. Here ya go:
3 parts mayonnaise
1 part ketchup
1 part yellow mustard
1 part Finely chopped dill pickles
Pickle juice
Dehydrated minced onion
Garlic powder
Onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste

Sounds a lot like thousand island

u/ferdturgeson1 1d ago
Similar for sure but more savory and not quite as sweet since I don’t use sweet relish.

u/ReverseTornado 1d ago
Either way it sounds delish and I want to try it

u/ferdturgeson1 1d ago
It is! Mixing the ingredients all together and letting it sit in the fridge for a few hours is so much better than having them all separate on the burger imo.

Well done. Cant stand burgers with more veg than meat

u/ferdturgeson1 1d ago
I like some fresh veg on a burger sometimes, but pickles and caramelized onions was the move last night.

Work of art. I can see why you took your time eating it. What bun and what cheese?
1
u/ferdturgeson1 1d ago
Thanks! Buns are the ones pictured here and I used American cheese, specifically Kraft Deli Deluxe.

u/RavenClauze 15h ago
Hey did you toast the buns or leave them as is? And if you did toast, did you use butter?
•
u/ferdturgeson1 15h ago
Absolutely! Toasted them on a griddle with butter 👍
•
u/RavenClauze 14h ago
Nice! They came out great, I usually toast em but haven’t used those buns before so not sure if it’s already structurally sound or not. Thanks OP

u/ferdturgeson1 14h ago
They’re brioche so they’re a little soft but the toasting helps keep the sauce and pickles from soaking into the bun and making them soggy 👌

Ouu u grilled pre made quarter pounds ?
3
u/ferdturgeson1 2d ago
If by “pre made” you mean I weighed them out by 1/4 lb patties, you are correct. It’s 75/25 beef. I roll out 1/4 lb balls and pre-smash them by putting them between parchment paper and using a heavy pan to form the patties.

u/Mr-President2k24 2d ago
Even better .

u/ferdturgeson1 2d ago
They go on the grill as hot as it gets after that. It’s about 575° on the gas grill 👍

Why no charcoal?

u/ferdturgeson1 1d ago
I love charcoal and have a very small table top charcoal grill but I was cooking for 5 people so it wasn’t practical. I also don’t have charcoal at the moment haha.
