Carls Jr The Six Dollar Burger Copycat Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat barbecue or indoor grill to medium heat.
• Form the ground beef into a patty with a slightly larger diameter than the sesame seed bun.
• Grill the burger on the grill for 3 to 4 minutes per side or until done.
• Be sure to generously salt and pepper each side of the patty.
• While the patty grills, brown the faces of the bun in a hot skillet over medium heat.
• After the buns have browned, spread about 1 1/2 teaspoons of mayonnaise on the face of the top bun, as well as on the bottom bun.
• Spread 1 teaspoon of mustard on the face of the top bun, followed by 2 teaspoons of ketchup.
• Arrange 3 or 4 bread& butter pickles slices on the bottom bun.
• Arrange lettuce on pickles followed by the tomato slices and red onion.
• When the beef is cooked, arrange two slices of American cheese on the patty, let it melt a bit, then place the top bun on the cheese and scoop up the whole thing with a spatula and place it on the bottom half of the burger.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the ground sirloin, salt, pepper, garlic and onion powder until evenly combined. Divide the mixture into 4 equal parts and then shape each into thin patties. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze for 30 minutes.
• Heat an indoor grill pan or outdoor grill over high heat. Once hot, place the frozen meat patties on the grill. Press down with a spatula and cook for about 4 minutes on the first side. Flip over and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes on the second side. Turn off the grill and place a slice of cheese on top of each patty.
• In a small bowl, combine the ketchup and relish. Set aside.
• Toast the buns and spread each half with mayo.
• To assemble the burgers, place a few pickle slices on each bottom half of the buns. Top layer lettuce, tomatoes, onions and a burger patty. Spread some of the ketchup mixture on the top bun and place on top. Serve immediately.
