INGREDIENTS

For the secret spread:

1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons dill pickles, finely chopped
1 teaspoon yellow mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

For the burger:

1 large yellow onion, finely diced
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1/4 cup french fries
6 ounces ground beef, 85% lean
Pinch salt
Pinch pepper
2 teaspoons yellow mustard
2 slices American cheese
1 potato bun, sliced in half
1 teaspoon butter
2 tablespoons secret spread
4 dill pickles
2 slices tomatoes, 1/4-inch thick
2 iceberg lettuce leaves

DIRECTIONS

1. To make the secret spread: Mix together mayonnaise, ketchup, pickles, mustard, salt, pepper, sugar, and apple cider vinegar.

2. To make caramelized onions: Add diced onions and oil to a sauté pan set over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until deeply caramelized. Deglaze pan with 1/2 teaspoon water. Set aside.

3. To make the french fries: Cook french fries according to package directions.

4. To make the burger: Heat up a cast-iron skillet until it just starts to smoke. Form ground beef into 2 patties, approximately 4 inches across. Season with salt and pepper. Place patties onto cast iron and cook for 1-2 minutes. While cooking, spread mustard onto the uncooked side of the burger. When ready, flip the patties and top with a slice of American cheese. Cook until burger is cooked through.

5. To assemble: Toast bun on a hot skillet with butter, until the edges are golden brown. Starting with the bottom bun, spread 1 tablespoon of spread on the bottom, and top with pickles, tomatoes, and lettuce. Add 1 burger patty, a heaping tablespoon of caramelized onions, and the second patty. Top that with french fries, more spread, and another scoop of onions. Finish with the top of the bun. Serve immediately.
