Burger:

  1. Preheat your skillet to medium-high heat.
  2. Weigh your portion of ground beef and shape into two patties. Season both sides of each patty with salt and pepper.

Sauce:

  1. Start by dicing the onions and adding unsalted butter to a small saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Add in the onions once the butter is bubbling along with a pinch of sugar and salt.
  3. Cook over medium heat for 30 minutes.
  4. In a medium bowl, combine and whisk together mayo, ketchup, finely chopped chives, worcestershire sauce, and a pinch of salt.
  5. Add finely diced dill pickles and caramelized onions. Mix together.

Assembly:

  1. Toast one side of bread with butter.
  2. Spread the sauce on the bottom half of each bun.
  3. Add a patty with melted cheese and onions on top.
  4. Spread sauce on the top bun.
  5. Finish with the top half of the bun.
