Dead Hippie Burger

Directions

1. 1

   Combine all sauce ingredients in a bowl, mix well, and place in the fridge to rest while you prepare the burgers.

2. 2

   Divide the ground beef into 8 equal portions (78g each). Gently roll into balls, being careful not to overwork the meat.

3. 3

   Preheat your Blackstone to high heat and lightly oil the surface.

4. 4

   Place the beef balls onto the hot griddle and let them sit for 10–15 seconds. Season with salt, then smash each ball thin immediately. Spread a thin layer of yellow mustard over the raw side. Cook for 60–90 seconds, until the edges become crispy.

5. 5

   Flip the patties so the mustard side hits the griddle. Season lightly again with salt and add a slice of cheese to each patty. If desired, add a small splash of water and cover briefly to steam for a full melt.

6. 6

   Lightly toast the buns on the griddle if you prefer.

7. 7

   To assemble, start with the bottom bun, add a spoonful of Dead Hippie sauce, then a layer of shredded lettuce. Stack two cheeseburger patties on top, followed by diced onion and pickle slices. Finish with a small drizzle of sauce and the top bun.

8. 8

   Gently press the burger together, serve immediately, and enjoy.
