Ingredients

For the burgers

2 ¼ pound burger formed into patties. To keep it authentic use pre-made patties from your grocery store
2 burger buns sesame seed
4 slices American cheese
prepared yellow mustard
Ketchup
2 tablespoons white onion finely chopped
4 slices dill pickle chips

For the burger seasoning (makes enough for several burgers)

4 tablespoons Kosher salt
2 tablespoons Accent
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon onion powder

Instructions

Combine the seasoning ingredients.
Season both sides of the patties.
Cook your patties in a hot skillet or on a griddle.
Top each patty with a slice of cheese.
Toast the buns.
Add the patties to the bun bottoms.
Squirt 5 little dots of mustard around the patties.
Do the same with the ketchup.
Add 1 tablespoon of onion and 2 pickle slices to each patty.
Top each patty with another slice of cheese.
Add bun top and serve.

Notes

I like to use deli-style cheese. It's a bit thicker and tastier.
