Ingredients
1 1/3 lb. ground beef (80 percent lean)
2 tsp. Old Bay seasoning
1 tsp. Black pepper
1 tsp. Sea salt
4 slices cheddar cheese
1/2 c. mayonnaise
1 tsp. Old Bay seasoning
4 sesame seed buns, sliced in half
ketchup
mustard
1 jar dill pickle slices
1 red onion, sliced
1 tomato, sliced
4 leaves of butter lettuce
Preparation
Step 1Make the Burger Patties: Heat a grill pan or sauté pan over medium heat. As it heats, combine ground beef, Old Bay, pepper and salt. Form into four equally sized patties, about 1/3 lb apiece. Set on a platter next to the stovetop. Coat the warmed grill pan with cooking spray and place patties on the pan, cooking each side about 4-5 minutes, or until cooked through to your desired doneness. Step 2Use a large star-shaped cookie cutter to cut each cheese slice into a star shape. Place the star-shaped cheese on each burger patty, in the last 30 seconds or so of cooking, so it melts a little. Set burger patties aside.Step 3Make King Neptune’s Poseidon Powder Aioli: Stir mayo and Old Bay until thoroughly combined. Step 4Assemble the Sandwich: Spread Poseidon Powder Aioli on the bottom of each bun. Top with a burger patty, ketchup, mustard, pickles, onion slices, tomato and lettuce. Place the top bun on each burger. Serve.
