Burger King-style Big King Burger

Ingredients:

1 1/2 pounds ground beef dash salt dash pepper 4 sesame seed hamburber buns 1 1/3 cups chopped lettuce 8 slices American cheese 1 to 2 slices white onion, separated 8 dill pickle slices

Spread:

1/4 cup mayonnaise 2 teaspoons French dressing 2 teaspoons sweet pickle relish 1 teaspoon white vinegar 1/2 teaspoon sugar 1/4 teaspoon lemon juice 1/8 teaspoon paprika

Procedures:

1. Prepare the spread by combining the ingredients in a small bowl. Set this aside until you are ready to use it.

2. Preheat your barbecue or indoor grill to high heat.

3. Divide the ground beef into eight even portions (3 ounces each.) Roll each portion into a ball, then press each ball flat to form a patty about the same diameter as the bun.

4. Grill the beef patties for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until done. Lightly salt and pepper each side of the patties.

5. As the meat cooks, brown the faces of the buns in a hot skillet, toaster oven, or facedown on the grill. Watch the buns closely so that they don't burn.

6. Build each burger by first spreading a tablespoon of the spread on the face of the top bun. Arrange about 1/3 cup of lettuce evenly over the spread.

7. On the bottom bun stack a patty, then a slice of American cheese, another patty, and another slice of cheese.

8. On the top slice of cheese, arrange 2 to 3 separated onion slices (rings), then 2 pickle slices.

9. Turn the top part of the burger over onto the bottom and serve. You may also want to zap the sandwichies in the microwave, individually, for 15 to 20 seconds each.
