The recipe
How to make it
1 serving
Ingredients
Burger
- 5 oz 75/25 ground beef
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 slice American cheese
- 1 Tbsp burger sauce
- 1 hamburger bun
Burger sauce
- ½ cup ketchup
- ½ cup yellow mustard
- ¾ cup mayonnaise
- 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper
Method
- Heat the oven to 250°F.
- Shape and season the patty, set it on a tray and bake about 20 minutes, until it reads 120°F inside.
- Heat a cast iron pan over medium-high heat and sear the patty about 2 minutes a side, adding the cheese for the last minute.
- Sauce: whisk the ketchup, mustard, mayo and Worcestershire together and season. It makes far more than one burger needs; it keeps in the fridge.
- Toast the bun, sauce the top half and assemble.
