Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup ketchup, Sir Kensington's preferred brand
3 tablespoons relish, Wickle's preferred brand
About 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce, Lea and Perrins preferred brand
1 large or 2 medium onions, Vidalia when in season or yellow
1 1/2 pounds ground beef, 80/20
Kosher salt and coarse black pepper
About 1 tablespoon canola, peanut or other neutral oil
8 slices American cheese
4 large soft rolls, Big Marty's plain and sesame preferred brand
Sliced dill/gherkin pickles
Chopped iceberg lettuce
Ranch-Flavored Tater Tots, for serving, recipe follows
About 1/2 cup powdered buttermilk (see Cook's Note)
1 tablespoon (scant palm full) dried chives
1 tablespoon dried dill
1 tablespoon granulated garlic
1 tablespoon granulated onion
1 tablespoon dried parsley
1 teaspoon fine sea salt or kosher salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 large bag extra-crispy tater tots, Ore-Ida preferred brand

Steps:

  • Gather your ingredients.
  • For the sauce: Combine sauce ingredients in small bowl.
  • For the burgers: Heat a large cast-iron skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
  • Peel onions and use a mandoline or large slicing blade of a box grater to shave the onions as thin as possible.
  • Place beef in a bowl, season with salt and pepper and score to separate into 4 portions. Roll beef into balls.
  • Drizzle oil in pan or over balls and place the meat into pan with 3 inches separating each portion. Top each ball with 1/4 of the onions and press meat into flat patties, bonding onions into meat. Cook beef 3 to 4 minutes, flip, cook and press 2 minutes. Add cheese, 2 slices per burger, and cook 2 minutes more, 7 to 8 minutes total between both sides. Put on patty bun bottoms.
  • Serve with sauce, pickles, lettuce and patty bun tops with Ranch Flavored Tater Tots alongside.
  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Whisk up spices in a bowl. Store in the refrigerator in airtight plastic container.
  • Bake tots to very crisp, 25 minutes. Top with ranch seasoning to your taste. Makes 3/4 cup seasoning and 6 portions of tots.
