Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your grill to medium-high, around 375°F (190°C).
Form the patties by dividing the ground beef into four equal portions, shaping each into a patty with a slight dimple in the center.
Grill each patty for about 4-5 minutes per side without pressing down and aim for an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
Prepare the special sauce by mixing mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, and pickle relish in a bowl.
Let the patties rest for 3-5 minutes after grilling to redistribute the juices.
Assemble the hamburgers by spreading the special sauce on the bottom half of each bun, adding toppings, and placing the patty on top.
Serve immediately while warm and juicy.
