Here’s a recipe for a famous burger joint that we don't have here in Idaho. This recipe gives you that classic Shake Shack taste without having to drive all the way to Utah. The sauce works great not only as a burger topping, but also as dipping sauce for French Fries!

The Burgers (This recipe makes 4 Burgers)

  • 1 lb Ground Beef
  • 1/2 tsp Salt & Pepper
  • 4 Cheese slices
  • 4 Potato Buns
  • 2 tbsp Butter
  • 1 Onion, sliced
  • 1 Tomato, sliced
  • 1 Head of Lettuce

    The Sauce

    • 1/2 cup Mayo
    • 1 tbsp Ketchup
    • 1 tbsp Dijon Mustard
    • 1 tsp Pickle Brine
    • 1/2 tsp Paprika
    • 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder

      The Step-by-Step

      1. Mix the ingredients together for the Shack Sauce and set aside.
      2. Add Salt & Pepper to Ground Beef and mix together in a large bowl. Form 4 round balls of Ground Beef.
      3. Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add balls, then press down into patties. Cook for 3-4 minutes, then flip and cook for another 2 minutes. Add 1 cheese slice to each burger, then place the lid over the skillet to let the cheese melt and remove from heat.
      4. Remove patties from skillet and set aside. Butter the potato buns and place in the skillet, then add back to medium-high heat, waiting until buns are lightly toasted (About 2 minutes).
      5. Add burger patties to each bun, then top with tomato, lettuce and Shack sauce. Serve alongside French Fries and enjoy!
