Homemade sauce can be lower in sugar.

Make the burger sauce by mixing 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon yellow mustard, 1 teaspoon sweet relish, and 1/2 to 1 ounce of El Yucateco red hot sauce in a bowl. Set aside in the refrigerator to chill.

Prepare a 4.5-inch baking ring on a piece of parchment paper for shaping the burger patty.

Take 80/20 ground beef, pull it apart, and fill the baking ring, pressing gently to form a patty without over-compressing.

Remove the baking ring and pat down the edges of the patty. Season with salt and black pepper.

Preheat a pellet grill to between 225°F and 250°F.

Place the burger patty on the grill and cook without flipping for 25 to 45 minutes until it reaches desired doneness.

Add cheese on top of the patty during the last few minutes of cooking and toast the burger bun on the grill.

Assemble the burger by placing the patty on the bottom bun, adding toppings like thinly sliced tomato, red onion, pickles, and the burger sauce. Cover with the top bun.
