ShackSauce
Ingredients:
• ½ cup Hellman’s mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Heinz ketchup
• ¼ teaspoon dill pickle brine
• Pinch cayenne pepper
Method:
In a small bowl, stir all of the sauce ingredients until smooth, then set aside.
ShackBurgers
Ingredients :
• 4 hamburger potato buns
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• ShackSauce
• 4 pieces green-leaf lettuce
• Eight ¼-inch slices plum tomatoes
• 1 pound cold ground beef, formed into four 1-inch-thick pucks
• Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
• 4 slices American cheese
Method:
Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-low heat. Meanwhile, open the hamburger buns and brush both sides with the melted butter.
Working in two batches, place the buns onto the heated skillet, buttered-sides down, and cook until golden brown for two to three minutes.
Transfer to a plate and spoon one tablespoon of sauce on each top bun, along with a piece of lettuce and two slices of tomato.
Increase the heat to medium and let the pan heat up for two to three minutes. On a plate, season both sides of each puck of ground beef with salt and pepper.
Place then into the cast-iron skillet, leaving plenty of room between them. Using a large, sturdy metal spatula, firmly smash each puck into a ⅓-inch-thick round patty.
Cook the burgers without touching them until the edges are brown and crisp, 2½ minutes, then flip them. Place a slice of American cheese on each burger and continue to cook until medium, 1 minute more.
Transfer a cheeseburger to each bottom bun, then sandwich with the top bun and lettuce and tomato, and serve.
