Instructions
1
Prep
Divide beef into two portions without compacting, slice the onion thinly, and mix mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard into a burger sauce.
2
Toast
Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat and toast the cut sides of the brioche bun for 1 to 2 minutes until golden and crisp.
3
Sear
Add oil to a heavy skillet over high heat until smoking, then smash both beef portions flat and cook 2 minutes until a deep lacy crust forms.
4
Melt
Flip both patties, stack them together, lay American cheese on top and cook over high heat 1 minute until cheese melts and second side browns.
5
Plate
Spread burger sauce on both bun halves, layer onion and pickles, add the cheesy stacked patty, cap with top bun, and serve immediately.
