Portillos Double Cheeseburger Copycat Recipes

CLASSIC DOUBLE CHEESEBURGERS WITH SPECIAL SAUCE

Steps:

• For the special sauce: Stir together the mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, relish and Worcestershire in a medium bowl. Set aside.
• For the double cheeseburgers: Prepare a grill for cooking over medium-high heat.
• Divide the ground beef into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten it into a thin, 4-inch-diameter patty. Lightly sprinkle the patties with salt and pepper. Grill on one side until about halfway cooked, about 3 minutes. Flip the patties, sprinkle the other side with salt and pepper, top each with a slice of cheese and continue to cook until the patties are cooked through and the cheese has begun to melt, 1 to 2 minutes more.
• Build each burger on a bun with 2 patties, tomato, lettuce, onion and a generous slathering of special sauce.

PORTILLO'S DOUBLE CHEESEBURGER COPYCAT RECIPE

Steps:

• separate the meat into two 1/3 lb portions and roll them into balls. Place one ball between two sheets of wax paper and press with a medium pot until the patty is about 1/4 inch thick (it should be about 6-7 inches in diameter. Repeat for the second patty.
• Preheat the grill and gently place the patties on the grill. Set to low and cover. This should only take about 2-3 minutes on one side and 2 on the other. Each grill is different so keep your eye on it.
• Meanwhile coat each side of the kaiser bun lightly with butter and warm it on the stovetop or in a cool part of the grill just until the inside begins to crisp up.
• Coat each side of the bun with half the mayo and half the ketchup. When the meat is cooked, layer the burger like this: Bottom bun, one slice, american cheese, first patty, second slice of american cheese, second patty, lettuce leaf, 4 large pickle chips, one slice of tomato (or two if the tomato doesn't cover the whole burger), one slice of red onion, top bun.
