INGREDIENTS

Burger Patties:
1.5 lbs ground beef (80% lean for juiciness)
Salt and black pepper, to taste
6 slices cheddar cheese
Special Sauce:
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tbsp ketchup
1 tbsp mustard
1 tbsp finely chopped pickles or relish
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
Burger Assembly:
3 brioche or potato burger buns
Lettuce, tomato, and pickles (optional, if you want extra toppings)
Fries, for serving (optional)

PREPARATION STEPS

Make the Special Sauce:
In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, chopped pickles, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
Form and Season Patties:
Divide the ground beef into 6 equal portions and shape each into a thin patty slightly larger than the bun. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
Cook the Patties:
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Add patties in batches if needed, and cook for about 2–3 minutes on one side until a nice crust forms.
Flip each patty, place a slice of cheddar cheese on top, and cook for another 2–3 minutes until the cheese is melted and the patties are cooked to your desired doneness.
Assemble the Burger:
Spread a layer of the special sauce on the bottom bun.
Stack one cheesy patty on top of the bun, then add another dollop of special sauce. Repeat with the second and third patties, adding a bit of sauce between each layer for maximum flavor.
Top with the final bun.
Serve:
Serve the triple cheeseburger immediately with a side of fries for a full meal. Enjoy the ultimate burger experience!
