Ingredients
  • 80/20 chuck, about ¼ pound
  • 90/10 sirloin, about ¼ pound
  • 2 sesame seed buns
  • 4 slices Kraft American cheese, deli style
Directions
  1. Mix even proportions of chuck and sirloin. Make 4 meatballs, weighing 3.3 ounces each. Flatten balls between nonstick parchment paper.
  2. On different grills, simultaneously start cooking burgers on medium-high and toasting buns on medium-low. At 30 seconds in, flip and flatten burgers.
  3. When buns are lightly toasted, remove from heat. Coat top bun with generous helping of hot sauce and mayo. Coat bottom bun with 3 rings of ketchup and 2 rings of mustard.
  4. About 2 minutes after the first flip, flip burgers again and flatten to your liking. Flip again 2 minutes later, flattening again.
  5. Top each patty with 1 slice cheese. Put 2 patties together cheese to cheese, and place stack between buns.
  6. Wrap burger in aluminum foil. Keep wrapped for at least 1 minute, then unwrap and enjoy.
