Copycat BangBang Burger – A Tailgate Twist on a Street Food Classic

Allergens

Dairy (in the cheese)

Ingredients

• 1. 6 thick beef patties 2. 6 brioche burger buns 3. 6 slices American cheese 4. 6 leaves lettuce 5. 6 slices ripe tomato 6. 6 dill pickle slices 7. 1 red onion, thinly sliced 8. Tailgate Twist Sauce (see instructions) 9. Top Notch Burger Seasoning (see instructions)

Instructions

1. Preheat the grill or cast iron skillet to medium high heat.
2. Generously season both sides of each beef patty with Top Notch Burger Seasoning, pressing it into the meat for maximum flavor absorption.
3. Add the patties to the grill or skillet and cook until a golden crust forms on the bottom, about 3 minutes. Flip and continue cooking until the desired doneness is reached, approximately 2 4 more minutes for medium rare.
4. In a small bowl, combine all Tailgate Twist Sauce ingredients and whisk until smooth. Set aside.
5. Assemble the burgers by spreading a generous layer of Tailgate Twist Sauce on each toasted bun bottom, adding a patty, cheese slice, lettuce leaf, tomato slice, pickle slice, onion slices, and finishing with the bun top.
6. Serve immediately with a side of extra sauce for dipping, if desired.

Chef’s Insight

To add a touch of smokiness, cook the burgers over wood chips for an enhanced flavor experience.

Notes

Be sure to let the patties rest for a few minutes before assembling the burgers to ensure even cooking.
