Ingredients

Ultimate Burger

  • 2 pounds ground chuck 80/20
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Ultimate Sauce

  • 1/2 cup Duke's mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup Heinz ketchup
  • 3 tbsp French's yellow mustard
  • 1 tbsp Tabasco Chipotle pepper sauce
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder

Instructions

Ultimate Burger

  • In a small bowl, mix the pepper, garlic and onion powders. In a large bowl, add the meat and gradually add in some of the spices until thoroughly mixed, being sure not to compress the meat too much and leave some air pockets.
  • Form the patties to about 4-inches wide and 3/4-inch thick. Refrigerate until ready to grill.
  • Before adding beef to grates, season the exterior with salt. Add to both sides a thin layer of light olive oil.
  • Cook directly over medium-high heat, flipping once until cooked in the center.

Ultimate Sauce

  • Whisk everything together in a small bowl until smooth.
  • Serve the burgers on high-quality soft buns, buttered and toasted for texture and flavor.
  • Smear the sauce on the bottom bun, then top with the burger and veggie toppings.
