Method (Detailed Version)

Mix and Shape the Patties

Start by placing your 500g of lean beef mince in a large mixing bowl. Add in 1 teaspoon of dried garlic (or garlic powder) and season generously with salt. Using clean hands or a fork, gently mix the ingredients together until just combined try not to overwork the beef, as this can make the patties dense and tough. Once mixed, divide the beef into four equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten them into evenly sized patties using your hands or the bottom of a glass. Keep in mind: these patties will be stacked two per burger, so aim for a thinner patty for that perfect double-decker experience.

Cook the Patties

Heat a large frying pan or a BBQ grill on high heat until it’s very hot you want to hear that satisfying sizzle when the patties hit the surface. Once the pan is ready, place the patties down gently, being careful not to overcrowd the surface. Cook each patty for about 3 to 4 minutes on one side without pressing down on them pressing will squeeze out the flavorful juices. Flip the patties only once and cook the other side for another 3 to 4 minutes until they’re fully cooked and have a nice brown crust. In the last 30 seconds of cooking, place a slice of smoked cheddar cheese on top of each patty so it begins to melt.

Toast the Buns

While your patties finish cooking, quickly toast the brioche buns. You can do this directly on the pan or grill you used for the meat this adds extra flavor! Toast the inside of each bun half for about 10 to 20 seconds, just until they’re golden brown and lightly crisp. Be careful not to overdo it brioche burns fast. Toasting the buns last minute helps prevent sogginess when you add your sauces.

Build the Burger

Now it’s time to assemble! Start with the bottom half of your toasted brioche bun. Add a spoonful of your chosen sauce (like Chick-fil-A sauce, mayo, mustard, or BBQ). Place one cheesy patty on the saucy bun, then stack the second patty right on top. Add another layer of sauce if you like it extra flavorful. Now, layer on a handful of bread and butter pickles (or your favorite kind), a leaf or two of gem lettuce (or any leafy green you prefer), and finally, cap it off with the top half of the toasted bun. Repeat the same process for the second burger.
