Marcus Meacham’s Best Ever Burger makes my mouth water every time we make them! Double patty with bacon, American cheese, pickles & a special sauce. It’ll be your go-to burger too! I think the secret to the Best Ever Burger is the combination of the bacon within the patty and the special sauce, which has mayonnaise, mustard, maple syrup, ketchup, citrus zest, jalapeños and sherry vinegar. It’s the perfection combination of savory, citrus, spice and tang all rolled into the perfect sauce! If a double patty is too much for you, feel free to modify and just use a single patty. But the double patty and double cheese ooey-gooey deliciousness will have your family members asking you to make these burgers on a regular basis for them!

The burger patties are meant to be thin “skillet” burgers, so if you’re a lover of medium-rare burgers, it’s going to be difficult to achieve that temperature. But one you bite into this juicy mound of delicious you won’t care what temperature it is. You’ll just care about devouring what is in front of you and hoping there are seconds!
