Instructions

1
Gently form the ground beef into two equal-sized patties, slightly wider than your buns. Create a shallow dimple in the center of each with your thumb to prevent puffing. Season generously with salt and pepper.
2
Preheat a grill or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Cook patties for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or to your preferred doneness. In the last minute of cooking, place two slices of cheese on each patty to melt.
3
While the patties cook, mix mayonnaise, ketchup, pickle relish, vinegar, and paprika in a small bowl to make the special sauce. Toast the brioche buns lightly.
4
To assemble: Spread a generous amount of special sauce on the top and bottom bun. On the bottom bun, place a lettuce leaf, then the cheeseburger patty. Top with tomato slices, pickles, and red onion rings.
5
Cap with the top bun and serve immediately with extra pickles and fries on the side.
