Directions

Start with prepping everything so it's ready to go, all the veg sliced and sauces ready.
Slice your bun in half and butter both sides before toasting on a skillet or cast iron pan over a medium heat.
Turn the skillet or cast iron to high and place your 2 beef balls on.
Place some parchment paper on top and press hard with a burger smasher or a pot.
Remove the paper and season the meat.
Once the meat is almost cooked through, scrape the patties up and flip, trying to get all the crispy brown pieces from the bottom.
Once flipped, add the cheese to the top and once melted stack one on top of the other.
Build the burger, starting with mayonnaise on the bottom bun and mustard on the top.
Next the lettuce and onions on the bottom then comes the meat and finally the pickles.
Bun lid on top and you're done!
