Method
Special Sauce
In a small mixing bowl add all of the ingredients
Mix well to fully combine
Transfer to a sealable container and store in the fridge for at least 30 minutes
The Burger
Heat a griddle over medium heat
When the griddle is hot, coat the griddle in butter wand toast the inside of both parts of the bun
When the buns are toasted, removed from griddle and set aside
Add both balls of beef and smash super thin with a solid spatula
Add an obnoxiously large handful of sliced onions on top of each burger patty
Season with salt and pepper
While the burger is cooking, apply special sauce to each toasted side of the bun and a pile of lettuce to the bottom bun
When the burger is crispy flip the burger making sure the onion slices are contained under the patty
Add American cheese to each patty
When the onions are cooked and the cheese is melted transfer them to the bun and stack them on top of each other
Apply the top bun and let it sit for a minute or two to let the juices settle
