Sonic’s Big Dill Burger Copycat —But Better!

I needed to try my own version of the Huge Dill Burger from SONIC ®– and I've got to state, it ended up pretty dang great. 2 crispy smash patties, melty cheese, fried pickle chips, and a homemade Dilly Ranch Mayo that brings the entire thing together. It's packed with flavor and easy to make on a flat top or in a cast iron frying pan.

WHAT MALCOM USED IN THIS DISH:

Sonic Copycat – The Big Dill Double Smash Burger Dish

For the Smash Burgers:
– 2 lbs 80/20 hamburger (roll into 3oz balls).
– Killer Hogs Steak Rub (or your favorite hamburger seasoning).
– Slices of American cheese.
– Barbecuing oil.
– Hamburger buns.
– Shredded lettuce.
– Thick-cut dill pickles (we utilized Grillo's Classic Dill Pickle Chips).
– Fried pickle chips (we used Fresh Gourmet Crispy Dillies).

For the Dilly Ranch Mayo:.
– 1 cup Blue Plate mayo.
– 3 tsp Cattle ranch seasoning (about 1/2 a packet).
– 1– 2 tsp fresh chopped dill.
– 2 Tablespoon dill pickle juice (from the pickle chip jar).

Instructions.
1. Make the Dilly Ranch Mayo.
– Mix mayo, Cattle ranch seasoning, fresh dill, and pickle juice in a little bowl.
– Stir up until smooth and let chill in the refrigerator for a few hours to let the tastes come together.

2. Prep the Beef.
– Type the hamburger into 3oz balls. Don't pack them tight– keep them loose for a better smash.

3. Smash and Scorch.
– Heat a flat-top frying pan or cast iron over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the surface area.
– Location the beef balls on the hot griddle and let them sit for about 1 minute– just long enough to form a light crust.
– Turn the balls over and smash them hard with a spatula or burger press.
– Season with Killer Hogs Steak Rub.
– Prepare for 2– 3 minutes, then turn once again.
– Season the other side, add a piece of American cheese, and cook for another 1– 2 minutes till the cheese is completely melted.

4. Construct the Stack.
– Stack 2 patties for each burger.

5. Toast the Buns.
– Location your buns cut-side-down on the griddle for about 30 seconds until toasted and golden.

6. Put together the Hamburger.
– Bottom bun → double smash patties.
– Top with fried pickle chips.
– Add shredded lettuce and thick-cut pickles.
– Spread Dilly Cattle Ranch Mayo on the leading bun.
– Close it up and serve.
