Homemade sauce can be healthier and tailored to taste.

Start by preparing the sauce for the burger with ketchup, mustard, chopped dill pickles, and a squeeze of lemon juice, adding brown sugar and mixing well.

Season the ground beef with salt, pepper, Lori seasoning salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and optional ketchup and mustard, then mix together.

Form the seasoned ground beef into patties by rolling them in your hands and flattening them.

Cook the patties in a skillet, smashing them down while they cook for about 3 minutes on each side.

Remove the patties from the skillet and drain excess grease on a paper towel.

Toast the burger buns in the skillet with a little oil or butter until golden brown.

Place American cheese on the patties to melt them.

Assemble the burger by placing a patty on the bun, adding sauce, and stacking another patty on top.
