Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend)
• 4 sesame seed hamburger buns
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons ketchup
• 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
• 1 tablespoon white vinegar
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup shredded lettuce
• 1/2 cup diced onions
• 1/2 cup sliced pickles
• 2 slices American cheese

Instructions:

1. In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, ketchup, yellow mustard, white vinegar, sugar, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the special sauce. Mix well and set aside.
2. Divide the ground beef into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
3. Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.
4. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of American cheese on top of each patty to melt.
5. While the patties are cooking, toast the sesame seed buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.
6. Assemble the burgers by spreading a generous amount of the special sauce on the bottom bun. Add shredded lettuce, a slice of onion, a slice of pickle, and one cheese-topped beef patty. Repeat with the second patty and top with the other half of the bun.
7. Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade Big King!
