Cooking method

Step 1:

Season the ground meat with just salt and pepper — plus any seasonings you like. Shape it into patties sized to match your buns, then coat them in breadcrumbs.
Step 2:

Finely chop the pickle. Stir it together with the mayonnaise, mustard, and 2–3 teaspoons of barbecue sauce (that isn't in the ingredient list, so I left it out) — you can use ketchup instead. The sauce is ready.
Step 3:

Fry the patties in vegetable oil on both sides until cooked through. When they're nearly done, toast the buns cut-side down in a dry pan until golden. It helps to have everything warm, so have the sauce, tomato, cheese, and lettuce ready before you start toasting the buns.
Step 4:

Assemble the burgers: bun, cheese, lettuce, tomato, sauce, patty, cheese, tomato, lettuce, sauce, bun. That's it — tasty homemade burgers, ready to go. Enjoy!
