Andy's Essentials: A Burger to be Reckoned With image

I made a bunch of these burgers for my incoming houseguests, and they absolutely loved them. Then, I posted a photo on this site, and I had a bunch of folks ask me to post the recipe. I honestly think that this is one amazing burger; however, you must follow the recipe as written. Since I did not intend to post this recipe, I am...

Ingredients

PLAN/PURCHASE
3 oz ground buffalo
1 medium slider bun, recipe to follow
1 tsp mayonnaise, plain variety
3 - 4 pieces of frisée (curly endive), or other lettuce
1 Tbsp andy's spicy beef/pork sauce, recipe to follow
1 slice fresh tomato
2 tsp yellow mustard, or to taste
salt, kosher variety, fine grind, to taste
black pepper, freshly ground, to taste
OPTIONAL ITEMS
melty, gooey cheese

Steps:

1. PREP/PREPARE
2. I have not tried this recipe using regular ground beef; however, if I did, I would select something like ground chuck.
3. You can use store-bought or homemade sliders. If homemade is your preference, here is my recipe: https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/bread/other-bread/ready-when-you-want-them-freshly-baked-yeast-rolls.html?r=7 This sauce is essential to the recipe without it, the recipe falls apart: https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/sauce-spread/other-sauce-spread/sauce-condiment-essentials-spicy-beef-pork-sauce.html Okay, you do not have to make your own mustard, but if you always wanted to give it a try, here you go: https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/sauce-spread/other-sauce-spread/diy-essentials-homemade-yellow-mustard.html?r=6
4. Gather your Ingredients (mise en place).
5. Take the ground buffalo, and shape it into a patty, slightly larger than your bun (there will be some shrinkage during the cooking process). Sprinkle both sides with some salt and pepper, and throw into a hot pan (you should hear a nice satisfying sizzle). After a few minutes, flip the burger, and cook for another minute or two.
6. Chef's Note: If you are adding cheese, do that now.
7. Cut the bun in half, and add the mayo to the cut side of the bottom half. Add the yellow mustard to the cut side of the top half. Add enough lettuce to cover the bottom of the bun. Add Andy's spicy beef/pork sauce.
8. Add a slice of nice fresh tomato.
9. Add the burger, with the sautéed onions, and pickles (if using).
10. PLATE/PRESENT
11. Serve with chips, fries... whatever suits your fancy. Enjoy.
12. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
