Instructions

Prepare the Burgers:

  1. Season the Beef: In a bowl, season the minced beef with salt and pepper.
  2. Form the Patties: Divide the beef into 10 equal portions and roll them into balls.
  3. Cook the Patties: Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat. Place the balls on the pan and flatten them with a spatula to make smash burgers. Cook each side for about 3 minutes until browned.
  4. Add the Cheese: Place a slice of cheese on each patty. Once the cheese has melted, stack one patty on top of another to form double cheeseburgers. Set aside.

Make the Caramelized Onions:

  1. Heat the Oil and Butter: In a pan over low heat, heat the olive oil and butter.
  2. Cook the Onions: Add the thinly sliced onions and cover with a lid. Cook for about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and golden brown.
  3. Season and Deglaze: Season with salt and add a dash of water to deglaze the pan. Mix well and set aside.

Prepare the Sauce:

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, grated gherkins, and gherkin water.
  2. Mix Well: Mix until well combined.

Assemble the Burgers:

  1. Toast the Buns: Toast the burger buns.
  2. Add Sauce and Vegetables: Spread a generous amount of sauce on the bottom bun. Layer with lettuce and tomato slices.
  3. Add Patties and Onions: Place the double cheeseburger patties on top of the vegetables. Top with caramelized onions.
  4. Finish with Sauce: Spread more sauce on the top bun and place it on top.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the burgers hot and enjoy!
