Ingredients
- 3/4 lb Lean ground beef (90/10)
- 2 Burger buns
- 4 slices American cheese
- 2 Yellow onions, diced
- 3 tbsp Light mayo
- 1 tbsp Ketchup
- 1 tbsp Sweet pickle relish
- 2 tbsp Yellow mustard
- 8 Dill pickle chips
- 1 cup Shredded iceberg lettuce
- 4 slices Tomato
Steps
- Start the onions first: cook the diced onion low and slow in a dry nonstick pan with a pinch of salt for 20 minutes, stirring now and then, until jammy and deep gold. Animal Style lives or dies on these.
- Stir the mayo, ketchup, and relish into the spread; chill it so it stays thick on the hot burger.
- Form four thin 3-oz patties, wider than the bun — they shrink toward the middle as they cook.
- Sear in a ripping-hot skillet and spread mustard over the raw tops before flipping; that is the real Animal Style move, the mustard fries right into the crust.
- Flip, cheese every patty, and cook 1 minute more; stack them in pairs.
- Toast the buns, spread both sides generously, then pickles, tomato, lettuce, the double stack, and a big spoon of those grilled onions.
