Down-N-Out Burger

Down-N-Out Burgers

Ingredients:

Special Sauce

1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup ketchup
3 tablespoons dill relish
2 tablespoons prepared horseradish
1 tablespoon grated onion
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

8 slices thick-cut bacon

PATTIES

1 1/2 pounds ground chuck, 80/20
1 tablespoon canola oil
Kosher salt
Freshly ground pepper

4 slices cheddar cheese
4 hamburger buns, split and toasted
Lettuce
Pickle Chips
Tomato

PREPARATION:

Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees and pre-heat a grill to medium high heat.

To make the sauce, add all of the ingredients to a non-reactive bowl and mix together until well combined. Cover and refrigerate until assembly.

Place the bacon on a slotted pan or parchment lined pan and cook in oven for 17-20 minutes, or until crispy. Lay bacon on paper towels to drain.

For the patties, gently form the meat into 4 equal patties that are slightly larger in circumference than the bun, then depress the centers for even cooking. Brush patties with canola oil and generously season both sides with salt and pepper. Grill for 10-12 minutes for medium, turning only once. Add the cheese for the last minute or two of cooking, making sure it is thoroughly melted.

To assemble the burgers, add some sauce to all cut sides of the buns. Starting with the bun bottom, add some lettuce, pickles and a burger patty. Next, add 2 slices of bacon to each burger and then a tomato slice finishing with the bun top. Enjoy!

Great to see all of these guys again this weekend. I promised all of them burgers last year, and this year I made them these Down-N-Out Burgers. See you guys and your family again in Marco Island or back in Silver Lake next year.
