Double RL Ranch Burger

Ingredients for Double RL Ranch Burger

• 120ml mayonnaise (preferably Hellmann's or Best Foods)

• 80ml ketchup (preferably Heinz)

• 2 tablespoons sweet relish

• 1 tablespoon finely chopped cornichons

• 1 tablespoon finely chopped red onion

• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

• 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder

• 1/2 teaspoons onion powder

• 1/4 teaspoons hot sauce (preferably Tabasco)

• Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper

• 1.4kg beef mince chuck (20% fat)

• Kosher salt

• 230g clothbound cheddar (such as Cabot), thinly sliced

• 8 sesame buns, toasted

• 16 slices bacon, cooked

• Green leaf lettuce, sliced tomato, sliced red onion, and sliced pickles (for serving)

Mix mayonnaise, ketchup, relish, cornichons, onion, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and hot sauce in a small bowl; season sauce with salt and pepper.

Sauce can be made 2 days ahead. Cover and chill.

Prepare grill for medium-high heat. Divide beef into 8 portions (about 170g each). Working with 1 portion at a time, cup your hands around the meat and begin to gently shape it into a round patty, being careful not to pack the meat too tightly. Lightly press down on patty to flatten, then press a slight indentation into the centre with your thumb (this will prevent patties from bulging when cooked).

Generously season both sides of patties with salt and grill 5 minutes. Turn and top with cheese. Cover grill and cook until cheese is melted and patties are medium-rare, about 5 minutes more. Transfer to a platter and let rest 5 minutes.

Build burgers with buns, patties, bacon, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, and special sauce.
