Instructions

1- Prepare the Special Sauce:

• Mix thoroughly until well blended. Set aside.

2- Toast the Buns:

• Melt butter in a cast iron skillet over medium heat.

3- Form and Cook Patties:

• Increase the skillet to medium-high heat and place the patties in the skillet.
• Use a piece of parchment paper on top of each patty and press down with a spatula to flatten. Remove the parchment paper.
• Season the patties with salt and pepper.

4- Finish the Patties:

• Flip the patties once browned on one side.
• Top each patty with a slice of cheddar cheese, allowing it to melt and become bubbly.

5- Assemble the Burger:

• Spread additional sauce on the top bun halves and cover each burger.
