Ingredients<\/p>\n
For the ShackSauce<\/p>\n
\u00bd cup\u00a0 mayonnaise<\/p>\n
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard<\/p>\n
1 teaspoon ketchup<\/p>\n
\u00bc teaspoon\u00a0 dill pickle brine<\/p>\n
Pinch cayenne pepper<\/p>\n
For the ShackBurgers<\/p>\n
4 hamburger potato buns<\/p>\n
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted<\/p>\n
ShackSauce<\/p>\n
4 pieces green-leaf lettuce<\/p>\n
Eight \u00bc-inch slices plum tomatoes<\/p>\n
1 pound cold ground beef, formed into four 1-inch-thick circle<\/p>\n
salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste<\/p>\n
Onion powder, garlic powder and chilli flakes<\/p>\n
4 slices cheese<\/p>\n
Directions<\/p>\n
Make the ShackSauce: In a small bowl, stir all of the sauce ingredients until smooth, then set aside.<\/p>\n
Make the ShackBurgers: Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-low heat. Meanwhile, open the hamburger buns and brush both sides liberally with the melted butter. Working in 2 batches, place the buns onto the heated skillet, buttered-sides down, and cook until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate and spoon 1 tablespoon of sauce on each top bun, along with a piece of lettuce and 2 slices of tomato.<\/p>\n
Increase the heat to medium and let the pan heat up for 2 to 3 minutes. On a plate, season both sides of each puck of ground beef with salt and pepper.<\/p>\n
Place the pucks into the cast-iron skillet, leaving plenty of room between them. Using a large, sturdy metal spatula, firmly smash each puck into a \u2153-inch-thick round patty. Cook the burgers without touching them until the edges are brown and crisp, 2\u00bd minutes, then flip them. Place a slice of American cheese on each burger and continue to cook until medium, 1 minute more.<\/p>\n
Transfer a cheeseburger to each bottom bun, then sandwich with the top bun and lettuce and tomato, and serve.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
