08 -
60 milliliters (1/4 cup) mayonnaise
09 -
30 milliliters (2 tablespoons) ketchup

15 milliliters (1 tablespoon) yellow mustard

10 milliliters (2 teaspoons) white vinegar

6 grams (1 teaspoon) granulated sugar

# Preparation Steps:
01 -
Divide ground beef into 8 equal balls, approximately 56 grams (2 ounces) each. Season each portion on all sides with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
02 -
Heat skillet over medium-high heat. Melt butter and add finely diced onion. Sauté until onions are translucent and golden, about 3-4 minutes. Transfer to plate and set aside.
03 -
Increase skillet to high heat. Place two beef balls onto the skillet and immediately press down firmly with a spatula to flatten each to approximately 1 centimeter thick. Cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes until edges are brown and crispy. Flip patties and continue cooking for 1-2 minutes.
04 -
Place a slice of American cheese on each patty while still hot. Stack two patties, cheese-side up, for each burger.
05 -
Lightly butter the cut sides of burger buns and toast in the skillet until golden brown.
06 -
In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, white vinegar, sugar, chopped pickles, and onion powder. Stir thoroughly until completely incorporated.
07 -
Spread a generous spoonful of Special New York Sauce on the bottom half of each bun. Top with a spoonful of sautéed onions, then stack double cheesy patties. Crown with top bun and serve immediately while hot.
