Double Cheeseburgers With Crisp Pancetta And Special Sauce Recipes

ALL-AMERICAN DOUBLE PATTY CHEESEBURGERS WITH NANCY'S SPECIAL SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the butter. When it foams, add the bread, cut-side down, and toast until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Transfer the bread to a platter.
• Sprinkle the beef with salt and pepper and mix it in, using your hands. Shape the ground beef into four patties. Flatten the patties between sheets of wax paper to a 3/8-inch thickness. (The patties will be 1 1/2 times larger than your palms; it's ok if the edges look ragged, since the burgers shrink up a bit while cooking.)
• Wipe the skillet lightly with vegetable oil using a paper towel. Add the patties to the skillet and cook on the first side for 3 minutes. Flip, season again, and cook for 2 minutes. Top each patty with a slice of American cheese and cook 1 minute more.
• Smear the toasted buns on both sides with some of Nancy's Special Sauce. Stack a burger patty on top of each bun, add a slice of onion, then top with a second patty, followed by the pickles, tomatoes and lettuce. Cover with the top buns and eat with a napkin!
• In a bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, relish, Sriracha and vinegar until well-combined.

CLASSIC DOUBLE CHEESEBURGERS WITH SPECIAL SAUCE

Steps:

• For the special sauce: Stir together the mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, relish and Worcestershire in a medium bowl. Set aside.
• For the double cheeseburgers: Prepare a grill for cooking over medium-high heat.
• Divide the ground beef into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten it into a thin, 4-inch-diameter patty. Lightly sprinkle the patties with salt and pepper. Grill on one side until about halfway cooked, about 3 minutes. Flip the patties, sprinkle the other side with salt and pepper, top each with a slice of cheese and continue to cook until the patties are cooked through and the cheese has begun to melt, 1 to 2 minutes more.
• Build each burger on a bun with 2 patties, tomato, lettuce, onion and a generous slathering of special sauce.

DOUBLE CHEESEBURGER BY CHEF ERIK ANDERSON RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine cubed chuck roll, salt, black pepper, thyme, and sliced garlic. Stir to coat. Cover and refrigerate to cure overnight.
• Prepare the sauce: in a small mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, ketchup, relish, vinegar, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Whisk together. Refrigerate to bring flavors together.
• Using a stand mixer fitted with meat grinder attachment, grind the cured meat, layering in pieces of chopped bacon throughout. (Ensure the meat and grinder attachments are very cold before grinding! Recommended that you place it in the freezer for a few minutes just before using.)
• Lightly mix together the ground meat and then form into six, 3 ounce balls.
• To a hot, oiled, cast iron skillet, over medium/high heat - add the balls and allow to cook slightly. Using two spatulas layered on top of one another, press down on the burger to form into thin patties. Continue to cook until the underside has browned and caramelized.
• Flip the burgers and continue to cook until the second side just begins to brown. Top with cheese and remove from the skillet.
• To assemble: Spread the burger sauce onto both halves of a toasted potato bun. On the bottom bun, layer lettuce, tomato, and a sprinkle of salt. Add one burger patty, thinly sliced onions, then the second burger patty. Place 4 pickles onto the top bun and place on top of the burger.
• Enjoy!
