Ingredients

· 4 burger buns

· 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

· 600 g minced beef

· 4 cheese slices

· 10 slices pickles

For the Sauce

· 2 echalion shallots

· 2 tablespoons mayonnaise

· 1 tablespoon tomato ketchup

· 2 tablespoons pickle liquid

· 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

· A pinch garlic powder

· A pinch onion powder

· A pinch sweet smoked paprika

Method

To make the sauce, combine all the ingredients in a bowl with a little seasoning. Heat a frying pan over medium heat and brush the cut sides of the buns liberally with melted butter. Toast in the pan until golden and toasted. Turn the heat to high. Season the mince and form into balls, push them into the frying pan, squashing to flatten. Cook for two minutes until really crisp, then flip and repeat. Lay a sheet of cheese onto each and cover with a lid until melted. Spread some of the sauce onto the bases of the buns, then top with the cheese patties. Top with lots of pickles, then spread the tops liberally with the sauce and put on top to serve.
