Preparation
- In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, minced pickled okra, okra brine, vinegar, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well combined. Set aside.
- Thinly slice the yellow onion and cut the jalapeños into rings, removing seeds for a milder flavor if preferred.
- Portion the ground beef into 2.5-ounce balls, keeping the beef loosely shaped.
- Preheat a skillet to 425-500°F (220-260°C).
- Toast the brioche buns cut-side down on the skillet until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.
- Season the beef balls with kosher salt and black pepper, then smash each ball firmly into a thin patty on the hot skillet. Cook for 1-1.5 minutes until a crust forms.
- Top the patties with sliced onions and jalapeños. Flip and cook for an additional 30-45 seconds.
- Place a slice of American cheese over a patty, stacking another on top. Let the cheese melt for about 30 seconds.
- Spread prepared sauce on the cut side of the top bun. Layer with the stacked patties and toppings, then cap with the bottom bun.

Notes
Consider preparing the sauce a day ahead to enhance the flavors. Toasting the buns adds a flavorful contrast to the juicy patties.
