4 servings
30 minutes total

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup dill pickle chips
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon prepared mustard
  • 1 tablespoon steak sauce
  • ½ cup ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons hot taco sauce
  • 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon sazón (or complete) seasoning, divided
  • 1 ½ lb ground beef [or 4 (6 oz) burger patties]
  • 8 slices Swiss cheese (about 8 oz)
  • 4 hamburger buns
  • 1 cup crispy potato sticks
  • Burger toppings such as lettuce, tomatoes, and onions (optional, for serving)

Steps

    1. Preheat grill (or grill pan) on medium-high. Drain pickles, reserving 2 tablespoons pickle juice; chop pickles coarsely.
    2. Combine in small bowl: pickles, mayonnaise, mustard, and steak sauce until blended. Combine in second small bowl: pickle juice, ketchup, taco sauce, and 1 tablespoon seasoning until blended.
    3. Divide beef into 4 even portions, then form into patties; sprinkle with remaining 1 teaspoon seasoning (wash hands). Place burgers on grill and cook 4 minutes without flipping. Flip burgers, then brush about 3 tablespoons ketchup mixture on top of each. Cook 3–4 more minutes until burgers are 160°F. Place cheese on burgers during last minute of cook time.
    4. Toast buns if desired. Spread mayonnaise mixture evenly inside buns. Place burger patties on bottom buns; top evenly with potato sticks and burger toppings, if using. Complete burgers with top buns; serve.
