Equipment List

  • Mixing bowl
  • Grill pan or outdoor grill
  • Spatula
  • Knife
  • Cutting board
  • Small bowl for sauce
  • Measuring spoons
  • Skillet for onions

Ingredients You Need for Guy Fieri Secret Burger Recipe

  • 1½ pounds ground beef (80/20)
  • 4 burger buns, brioche or sesame
  • 4 slices cheddar or American cheese
  • 1 small onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tomato, sliced
  • Lettuce leaves
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste

Secret sauce ingredients

  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon pickle relish
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika

Instructions

1. Make the Secret Sauce

Mix mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, relish, garlic powder and paprika. Stir until smooth and creamy, then chill in the fridge.

2. Cook the Onions

Melt butter in a skillet on low heat. Add onions and cook slowly until golden and sweet, stirring sometimes to stop burning.

3. Shape the Burger Patties

Divide beef into four even balls. Press gently into patties, not too thin, so they stay juicy inside during cooking.

4. Season the Patties

Sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides. Keep seasoning simple so the beef flavor stays strong and rich without overpowering sauce.

5. Heat the Grill or Pan

Preheat grill or grill pan to medium high heat. A hot surface gives the patties a tasty sear and locks in juices.

6. Cook the Patties

Place patties on hot grill. Cook each side for about four minutes until browned outside and juicy inside.

7. Add the Cheese

Place cheese slices on patties during last minute of cooking. Cover pan lightly so cheese melts smoothly over the meat.

8. Toast the Buns

Lightly toast buns on grill or pan. This keeps them from getting soggy and adds a nice warm crunch for each bite.

9. Build the Burger

Spread secret sauce on buns. Add lettuce, tomato, cheesy patty and caramelized onions. Press top bun gently and serve hot.

Recipe Tips

  • Use 80/20 beef for juicy patties
  • Do not press patties while cooking or juices escape
  • Let patties rest one minute before serving
  • Toasting buns prevents soggy burgers
  • Add jalapeños for spice
  • Swap cheddar for pepper jack for extra kick
  • Double the sauce because everyone loves extra

Best Sides To Serve With

Storage and Reheating Tips

Store leftover patties and buns separately in airtight containers. Keep them in the fridge for up to two days. Reheat patties in a skillet on low heat so they stay juicy.

Avoid microwaving buns because they may become tough. Store sauce in a small covered bowl in the fridge. Add fresh lettuce and tomato only when ready to serve so they do not wilt.
