West Coast Burger Blend, enough to generously season outside of burgers
4 brioche or potato buns, sliced in half
4 slices of American cheese
1 red or white onion, thinly sliced for serving
Dill pickles, sandwich slices
Lettuce leaves, washed and dried for serving

Directions
Step 1
Make the sauce:
Step 2
Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and whisk to combine. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to let the flavors combine, and store for up to 2 weeks.
Step 3
Make the burgers:
Step 4
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Step 5
Divide meat, or weigh out, into four 8-oz portions of ground beef.
Step 6
Without over-handling the beef, form the meat into patties roughly the same diameter as your burger buns.
Step 7
Generously season the patties with West Coast Burger Blend shortly before you’re ready to grill.
Step 8
Place the burgers on the grill, flipping every few minutes. We recommend using a meat thermometer to gauge when the burgers are ready. Depending on the preferred internal temperature level, they will take about 4-8 minutes to grill.
Step 9
Rare: 120º, Medium-Rare: 130º, Medium: 140º, Medium-Well: 150º
Step 10
Top each patty with a slice of cheddar cheese shortly before removing from grill and lightly toast buns on the grill while cheese melts. Serve with sauce.
