Double Decker Perfect Burger


When one patty just will not do, stack two. This Double Decker piles two Dr. Praeger's Perfect Burger patties with melty cheese, crisp lettuce, pickles, and a quick homemade burger sauce. It is the veggie burger that eats like the drive-thru classic you remember.

Servings: 1  |  Time: 25 minutes  |  Made with: Dr. Praeger's Perfect Burger

Ingredients

For the Burger

  • 2 Dr. Praeger's Perfect Burger patties
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 sesame seed bun, plus 1 extra bottom bun
  • 1 slice American or cheddar cheese
  • ¼ cup shredded romaine lettuce
  • 2 to 3 tbsp minced white onion
  • 1 medium dill pickle, thinly sliced
  • 2 to 3 tbsp burger sauce (recipe below)

For the Burger Sauce

  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp minced pickles or pickle relish
  • 1 tbsp minced white onion
  • 1 tsp white or apple cider vinegar
  • ¼ tsp sweet paprika
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder
  • Sea salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Make the burger sauce: stir all the sauce ingredients together in a small bowl. Taste and adjust. Set aside, or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Cook the Dr. Praeger's Perfect Burger patties straight from frozen, 3 to 4 minutes per side, until crisp outside and heated through.
  3. Build it: bottom bun, cheese, sauce, onion, lettuce, and a patty. Add the second bottom bun, then another layer of sauce, lettuce, onion, pickles, and the second patty. Crown with the top bun and dig in.
