Step-by-Step Instructions

Prepare your ingredients. Preheat your grill or skillet to medium-high heat, around 400°F (200°C).
Mix your secret sauce by combining mayonnaise, ketchup, Dijon mustard, and pickle juice in a medium bowl. Whisk until smooth and set aside.
Form the patties by dividing the ground beef into eight 2-ounce balls, sprinkling them with salt and pepper.
Smash each beef ball onto the grill to create flat patties about ¾ inch thick, cooking for about 3 minutes.
After 3 minutes, flip the patties, add a slice of cheese, and cook for an additional minute.
Assemble the burgers by spreading secret sauce on toasted brioche buns and adding the cheesy patties along with toppings.
