Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 1 cup ketchup (heinz organic)
• 2 tablespoons dill relish
• 1 (4 ounce) can diced green chilies, drained and finely chopped
• 1 cup sour cream
• kosher salt
• pepper
• 2 1/2 lbs ground chuck
• 2 tablespoons chili powder
• 1 tablespoon ground coriander
• 1 tablespoon ground cumin
• 1/4 cup worcestershire sauce
• extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling
• 8 slices cheddar cheese
• 6 hamburger buns with sesame seeds, split
• 1 head green leaf lettuce
• sandwich-sliced pickle
• 1 small onion, chopped

Recipe

• 1 make the sauce—in a bowl, stir together the ketchup, relish, chiles, and sour cream; season with salt and pepper.
• 2 make the burgers—in a large bowl, combine the beef, chili powder, coriander, cumin, and worcestershire sauce; season with salt and pepper and mix thoroughly.
• 3 score the mixture in to 4 equal portions and form 2 thin patties out of each section, creating 8 patties total.
• 4 heat a drizzle of oil in a large skillet or griddle over med-high heat.
• 5 cook half the burgers until browned and cooked through, about 2 minutes on each side.
• 6 when you flip the burgers, top each with a slice of cheese.
• 7 set the first batch aside on a plate and cook the remaining burgers.
• 8 when the burgers are ready, assemble them in a double-decker style—lay down 4 bun bottoms and top them with some of the sauce, a lettuce leaf, a burger, a couple of pickle slices, and a sprinkle of onion.
• 9 repeat with another layer (using 2 bun bottoms and 2 bun tops) of the same order.
• 10 add some of the sauce to the top buns, too, before you cap off each burger.
