How to cook deliciously - Copycat Shake Shack Burger

1. Stage

Into a blender, add mayo, pickles, ketchup, mustard, garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne. Blend until totally smooth and set aside.

2. Stage

Heat a large, heavy-bottomed skillet or griddle over medium heat. Separate the bun tops and bottoms without breaking the “hinges”. Working in batches, brush inside tops and bottoms of rolls with butter and toast in the skillet until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove rolls and increase heat to medium-high.

3. Stage

Working in batches, add ½ teaspoon of vegetable oil to the skillet and heat until shimmering. Season the top of 2 ground meat balls heavily with salt and pepper then turn that side into the pan.

4. Stage

Using a large spatula or press, smash the burgers until a little less than a ¼” thick. Season the tops with more salt and pepper. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes or until a deeply browned crust has formed.

5. Stage

Flip each patty and top with cheese. Cook until the bottom has also formed a crust and the cheese has melted, an additional 1 to 2 minutes.

6. Stage

While the burgers cook, smear the top inside of a bun with a good schmear of the prepared sauce. Then top the bottom bun with the 2 patties, followed by a leaf of green lettuce, and 2 slices tomatoes.

7. Stage

Wrap the burger in wax paper and serve immediately while you prepare the following 3 burgers.
