Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lbs. ground beef
  • 2 tsp Old Bay Seasoning
  • 2 tsp Worcestershire
  • Kosher salt and black pepper
  • 2 tbsp. vegetable oil
  • 8 slices American cheese
  • 4 English muffins, split
  • 1/4 cup dijonnaise
  • 3 tbsp. finely chopped dill pickle, plus 2 tsp brine
  • Small lettuce leaves, sliced tomato and potato chips, for serving

Directions

  1. Combine the beef, Old Bay and Worcestershire in a medium bowl and mix with your hands. Form into 8 very thin 4 1/2-inch wide patties and season lightly with salt and pepper.

  2. Heat 1 tbsp. vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 4 patties and cook until browned, about 2 minutes. Flip, top each patty with a slice of cheese and cook until the cheese starts melted, about 1 minute. Transfer to a large plate and tent with foil; wipe out the skillet. Add the remaining 1 tbsp. oil and repeat with the remaining patties and cheese.

  3. Meanwhile, toast the English muffins. Combine the dijonnaise, chopped pickle and brine in a small bowl. Top each English muffin bottom with a lettuce leaf, 2 patties, tomato slices, the dijonnaise mixture and an English muffin top. Serve with potato chips.
