# What You’ll Need:
→ Beef Mixture
01 -
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
02 -
1 pound ground beef (85% lean, 15% fat)
03 -
1/2 cup yellow onion, finely diced
04 -
1/2 teaspoon salt
05 -
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
06 -
1/4 cup dill pickle relish
07 -
1/4 cup bottled thousand island dressing
08 -
1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
→ Assembly and Toppings
09 -
4 large sesame seed hamburger buns
10 -
1/4 head iceberg lettuce, shredded
11 -
2 tablespoons yellow onion, small diced (for topping)
12 -
4 slices American cheese
13 -
16 dill pickle hamburger slices (3-4 per sandwich)
14 -
Bottled thousand island dressing, for drizzling
# Steps to Make This:
01 -
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add the ground beef, diced yellow onion, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes, breaking up the meat as it browns and the onions soften. Drain any excess fat from the pan.
02 -
Decrease the heat to low. Stir in the dill pickle relish, 1/4 cup thousand island dressing, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix thoroughly to combine and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until the mixture is heated through.
03 -
Place the bottom half of each sesame seed bun on a plate. Layer each with shredded iceberg lettuce, a portion of the reserved diced yellow onion, one slice of American cheese, and 3 to 4 dill pickle slices. Add a generous scoop of the hot beef mixture, then drizzle with extra thousand island dressing. Cap each sandwich with the top bun and serve immediately.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
For optimal texture, lightly toast and butter the hamburger buns before assembling to prevent sogginess.
02 -
Allow the beef mixture to rest for a few minutes after cooking to enhance flavor development.
03 -
Customize each sandwich with additional garnishes such as extra lettuce, onions, or pickles based on personal preference.
