Start by discussing the origins of the ski burger and the ingredients used.

Prepare 2 lbs of ground beef, using 1 lb of Wagyu for better marbling.

Add one package of Lipton onion soup mix to the beef.

Crush up half a sleeve of Ritz crackers and add to the mixture.

Pour in about 1/2 cup of applesauce.

Add Worcestershire sauce to taste.

Crack in 2 eggs, one for each pound of meat.

Add Texas Pete hot sauce to the mixture.

Preheat the griddle to medium heat, around 400°-425°.

Mix all the ingredients together until well combined.

Form the mixture into thick patties, making them juicy.

Place the patties directly on the preheated griddle without oiling it, as the beef has enough fat.

Cook the patties, flipping them after a few minutes to get a good sear.

Toast the Brioche burger buns in beef tallow on the griddle until slightly browned.

Slice the tomato thinly and prepare the red onion.

Assemble the burgers by placing the lettuce, then the tomato, and thinly sliced red onion on the bottom bun.

Add the cooked burger patty on top, followed by a slice of American cheese.

Spread Duke's mayonnaise on the top bun before closing the burger.

Serve the ski burgers immediately.
