JUICY GRILLED CHEESEBURGERS

Steps:

• Heat a grill to medium-high direct heat and lightly oil the grates using a paper towel soaked in canola oil or nonstick grilling cooking spray.
• Spread a 16-inch-long piece of nonstick aluminum foil on a cutting board (or mist a piece of regular aluminum foil with nonstick cooking spray). Top with the onions, 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper and 1 tablespoon water. Bring two sides of the foil together, fold over twice to create a seal and then seal the remaining two ends. Put on the grill and cook for 12 minutes, flipping once. The onions should be tender with only a bit of charring. Carefully open the top of the foil to let all the steam out and continue to cook the onions, tossing, until browned and lightly charred, 3 minutes longer. Remove from the heat.
• While the onions cook, mix the ketchup and mustard together in a small bowl. Season with pepper and set aside.
• Lightly toast the English muffins on the grill and place one top and bottom on each of 4 plates. Spread some of the ketchup sauce on the bottom half of each muffin and top with a slice of tomato.
• Divide the beef into 4 patties about 4 inches in diameter and just under 1/2-inch thick. Sprinkle with a total of 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Place the burgers on the grill. Cook until the edges of the burgers are browning, 3 to 5 minutes, and then flip. Brush the burgers with the remaining ketchup sauce and evenly top with the shredded cheese. Cover the burgers with the grill lid or a large heatproof bowl and continue to cook until the cheese has melted and the burgers are still a bit pink on the inside, about 3 minutes more.
• Put one burger on top of the assembled muffin bottom and top with some of the grilled onions and the top of the muffin. Serve with pickles if desired.

TRUE CHEESEBURGER PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef, salt, and pepper in the hot skillet until meat is browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease.
• Mix ketchup and mustard in a bowl; spread mixture over pizza crust. Spread mozzarella cheese and Cheddar cheese over ketchup mixture and top with beef and onions. Transfer pizza to a large baking sheet.
• Bake in preheated oven until cheese is melted, about 20 minutes. Top with pickles and allow pizza to cool for 5 minutes. Top with shredded lettuce and tomatoes before slicing and serving.

GRILLED STUFFED CHEESEBURGER BUNS

Steps:

• Whisk the ketchup, mayonnaise, pickles and mustard in a small bowl until well combined. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Mix the ground beef, American cheese, red onion, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl until well combined. Form the mixture into 8 small patties, each about 1 ounce and 2 inches in diameter.
• Divide the pizza dough into eight 2-ounce pieces. Working with one piece at a time, press the dough into a 4-inch round and place 1 cheeseburger patty into the center. Fold the edges of the dough over the patty, pinching it together in the center tightly so that the patty is completely covered and there is no gap for any cheese to spill out when cooking. Repeat with the remaining dough and patties. Refrigerate, covered, until ready to grill, up to 1 day.
• Place a 12-inch cast-iron skillet onto the grill and prepare the grill for medium heat (about 350 degrees F).
• Once preheated turn the burner underneath the skillet off. Brush the tops of the buns with the olive oil and sprinkle with the sesame seeds. Place the buns into the heated cast-iron skillet, spacing them apart so none of them are touching. Cover the grill and cook, using grilling tongs to pick up and reposition the buns occasionally so they don't burn on the bottom, until the buns are golden brown and cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes. Let the buns cool for at least 15 minutes before serving with the special sauce on the side.
