• Roll ground beef into a ball and press flat on waxed paper until about 1/8 inch thick.
• Brown faces of bun in a dry frying pan over medium heat. Remove bun and cook burger in the same pan for 2 min per side, salting each side lightly during cooking.
• On the top bun-half spread the ketchup, mustard, and onion, in the order, and top with the pickle slice.
• put the beef patty on the bottom bun and quickly slap the top and bottom together. Microwave the burger on high for 10-15 seconds. FOR CHEESEBURGERS: follow the above recipe, but add a slice of American cheese on top of the beef patty in the final assembly. Microwave for 15 seconds on high to help steam the bun and simulate being wrapped in paper.

Steps:

• Add the meat to a large bowl and lightly blend. Mix all of the dry ingredients together in a separate bowl/
• Weigh the meat mixture into exactly 1.6 oz patties for a regular McDonald’s patty.
• Place the burgers on a sheet pan in between two pieces of parchment paper and place in the freezer for 1 ½ hours.
• Remove the burgers from the freezer exactly 2 minutes before you are ready to cook them. Heat a large, nonstick griddle to high. Place the patties on the griddle, season heavily with the seasonings, and let them sit for 30 seconds. Using a spatula, press down heavily on the patty for roughly 3 seconds. Flip the burger and repeat, remembering to season heavily. When the burgers are done, add a slice of American cheese to each one.
• Place the buns loosely wrapped in a paper towel in the microwave and heat for 10-15 seconds.
• Place 5 nickel-sized dollops of ketchup on the cooked burgers, four in each corner, and one in the center. In the empty spaces, place five smaller dots of mustard. Place 2-3 slices of pickles on top.
• Remove the onions from the water and drain thoroughly. Top the burger with the onions and the other half of the bun.
