Ingredients
  

For the Patty
  • 1 pound 80/20 Chuck Beef Provides the base for a juicy and flavorful patty; freshness is key!
  • 1 pound 90/10 Sirloin Beef Offers a lean flavor that enhances richness; consider using a blend with chuck for balance.
For the Buns
  • 4 count Sesame Seed Buns Traditional buns that add a slight nuttiness; try brioche for a richer taste.
For the Cheese
  • 4 slices Kraft American Cheese Melts perfectly for that creamy texture we all love; any deli-style American cheese works too.
For the Condiments
  • 4 tablespoons Ketchup Adds the perfect sweetness and acidity; a close match to Five Guys’ proprietary blend!
  • 2 tablespoons Mustard Provides tanginess; standard yellow mustard does the trick.
  • 2 teaspoons Hot Sauce For that kick, Frank’s Original is preferred; adjust based on your heat tolerance.
  • 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise Adds creaminess; opt for high-quality or homemade for maximum flavor.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Perfect Copycat Five Guys Burger
  1. Combine equal parts of 80/20 chuck beef and 90/10 sirloin beef in a large bowl. Mix gently until just combined, and divide into 3.3 ounces meatballs.
  2. Place each meatball on a cold cookie sheet, and press down with a heavy pot or skillet to create flat patties about half an inch thick.
  3. Preheat one griddle to medium-high heat and another skillet to medium-low for toasting the buns for about 5 minutes.
  4. Carefully place smashed patties onto the hot griddle for the first 30 seconds without touching. Flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until crispy.
  5. Toast sesame seed buns, cut side down, on the medium-low skillet for 2-3 minutes, until light golden brown.
  6. Assemble the burger: spread hot sauce on the top bun, add mayonnaise, then the patty with melted cheese, followed by ketchup and mustard.
  7. Wrap each built burger in aluminum foil and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
