Prep time: 25 minutes
Serves: 4
Patties may be prepared ahead and refrigerated until ready to serve, up to 6 hrs. in advance. If prepared earlier than that, filling may taste "old."

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lbs. lean ground beef
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1/8 tsp. black pepper
  • 1 tbsp. chopped parsley
  • 4 thinly sliced onion rings
  • 4 thin tomato slices
  • 4 thin slices Cheddar cheese
  • 4 tsp. Dijon mustard
  • 4 tsp. pickle relish
  • 4 tsp. mayonnaise
  • 4 crisp lettuce leaves
  • 4 large hamburger buns, toasted and buttered

Preparation

Step 1

Mix meat with the salt, pepper and parsley. Divide into 8 portions. Flatten each portion out to make rounds 4 to 5 inches in diameter. Top each of 4 patties with 1 slice onion, 1 slice tomato and 1 slice Cheddar cheese. Top the matching patties with 1 tsp. mustard, 1 tsp. relish and 1 tsp. mayonnaise. Place the relish patties over the other patties, carefully enclosing all the relishes on the inside. Press out any air bubbles and seal edges well. Broil or grill until done to your liking, about 4 min. on each side. Top with lettuce and place into prepared hamburger buns. Serve immediately.
