Yield 8 stuffed buns

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

1/4 cup ketchup
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup chopped dill pickle chips (about 10 pickles)
2 tablespoons yellow mustard
8 ounces lean (93/7) ground beef
4 slices American cheese, chopped (about 1/2 cup)
1/2 small red onion, finely chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound store-bought pizza dough, at room temperature
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Steps:

Whisk the ketchup, mayonnaise, pickles and mustard in a small bowl until well combined. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Mix the ground beef, American cheese, red onion, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl until well combined. Form the mixture into 8 small patties, each about 1 ounce and 2 inches in diameter.
Divide the pizza dough into eight 2-ounce pieces. Working with one piece at a time, press the dough into a 4-inch round and place 1 cheeseburger patty into the center. Fold the edges of the dough over the patty, pinching it together in the center tightly so that the patty is completely covered and there is no gap for any cheese to spill out when cooking. Repeat with the remaining dough and patties. Refrigerate, covered, until ready to grill, up to 1 day.
Place a 12-inch cast-iron skillet onto the grill and prepare the grill for medium heat (about 350 degrees F).
Once preheated turn the burner underneath the skillet off. Brush the tops of the buns with the olive oil and sprinkle with the sesame seeds. Place the buns into the heated cast-iron skillet, spacing them apart so none of them are touching. Cover the grill and cook, using grilling tongs to pick up and reposition the buns occasionally so they don't burn on the bottom, until the buns are golden brown and cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes. Let the buns cool for at least 15 minutes before serving with the special sauce on the side.

Time 35m

Yield 3

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1 pound 85% lean ground beef
3 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon Montreal-style steak seasoning
6 slices white bread
6 slices Colby-Jack cheese

Steps:

Combine ground beef, parsley, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and steak seasoning in a bowl; mix until thoroughly combined. Form into 3 evenly-sized patties.
Warm a nonstick griddle over medium heat. Place burgers onto the warm griddle and cook to desired doneness, 4 to 6 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (71 degrees C). Remove burgers and set aside.
Warm a second griddle over medium heat. Butter 1 side of each bread slice. Place a slice of bread onto the griddle, butter-side down. Add a slice of cheese, a burger, and a second slice of cheese. Top with another slice of bread, butter-side up. Repeat with remaining burgers.
Cook until bread is golden brown on the bottom, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip and cook until the other side is golden brown and cheese is melted, 3 to 5 minutes more.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 25m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

2 1/2 pounds ground beef
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Vegetable oil, for the grill grates and buns
6 slices American or Cheddar cheese
6 seeded hamburger buns, split
Lettuce leaves, tomato slices, red onion slices, ketchup and mustard, for serving

Steps:

Prepare a grill for medium heat. Divide the ground beef into 6 even pieces and shape each into a 1-inch-thick patty. Press in the center of each patty so it is slightly thinner than the edges. Sprinkle generously on both sides with salt and pepper. Lightly oil the grill grates.
Grill the burgers, flipping once, until well browned and medium rare, 6 to 7 minutes per side, topping with a slice of cheese in the last few minutes of grilling. Lightly brush the buns with oil and grill until lightly toasted. Put the burgers on the bottom buns and top with the lettuce, tomato, onions and top buns. Serve with ketchup and mustard on the side.
