Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef, 80/20 blend
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 4 pieces Dairy-free hamburger buns
- 4 slices Dairy-free American cheese slices
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 1 medium Tomato, sliced
- 0.5 medium White onion, thinly sliced
- 8 pieces Pickle slices
- 0.5 cup Vegan mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Ketchup
- 1 teaspoon Yellow mustard
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
Instructions
Start by preparing the special sauce: In a medium-sized bowl, mix the vegan mayonnaise, ketchup, yellow mustard, garlic powder, and smoked paprika until well combined. Set aside.
Divide the ground beef into 4 equal portions. Form each portion lightly into a ball.
Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil.
Once hot, place the beef balls onto the skillet. Press each one firmly with a spatula to form patties.
Season each patty with a pinch of kosher salt and black pepper.
Let the patties cook for about 3 minutes on one side, then flip.
Add a slice of dairy-free American cheese to each patty and cover the skillet to help the cheese melt, cooking for another 2 minutes.
Meanwhile, toast the dairy-free buns in a toaster or on another skillet until golden brown.
Assemble the burgers by spreading the special sauce on each side of the toasted buns.
Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom bun, then add a cooked patty, tomato slice, onion slice, pickle slices, and finish with the top bun.
Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make all the burgers.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Dairy-Free Shake Shack Style Burger!
