Preparation

Step 1

For the sauce, combine ingredients together in a small bowl and set aside (or cover and refrigerate until ready to use).

For the onions, heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add onions, coat with oil and salt generously. Cook, stirring and tossing often, adding small amounts of water (1 tablespoon at a time) whenever onions appear to be dried out. Cook 10-15 minutes until onions are very soft and browned. Set aside.

To make the burgers, heat a large frying pan over medium heat. Toast the interior of the buns in the hot pan. Place into a 200°F oven to keep warm.

Season the patties with salt and pepper. Place into hot pan. While they cook on the first side, spread 1 tablespoon of mustard onto the raw sides of the patties. Flip. Place a cheese slice on each patty. Remove patties from pan when cheese is well melted and burgers are cooked through.

To assemble, on the bottom bun, spread a generous amount of the sauce. Top with 4 pickle chips followed by tomato and lettuce, then burger patties. Place the grilled onions directly on top of the cheese. Complete with top bun and serve.
