Burger King

 McDonald's has added more
breakfast sandwiches to compete with Burger King's wider
wake-up selection.  So the war continues.  And the battlefield
is splattered with ketchup.

1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 teaspoons French dressing
2 teaspoons sweet pickle relish
1 teaspoon white vinegar
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon paprika

1 1/2 pounds ground beef
dash salt
dash pepper
4 sesame seed hamburger buns
1 1/3 cups chopped lettuce
8 slices American cheese
1 to 2 slices white onion, separated
8 dill pickle slices

1. Prepare the spread by combining the ingredients in a small
 bowl. Set this aside until you are ready to use it.
2. Preheat your barbecue or indoor grill to high heat.
3. Divide the ground beef into 8 even portions (3 ounces each).
 Roll each portion into a ball, then press each ball flat to
 form a patty about the same diameter as the bun.
4. Grill the beef patties for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until
 done. Lightly salt and pepper each side of the patties.
5. As the meat cooks, brown the faces of the buns in a hot skillet,
 toaster oven, or face down on the grill. Watch the buns closely so
 that they do not burn.
6. Build each burger by first spreading a tablespoon of the spread
 on the face of the top bun. Arrange about 1/3 cup of lettuce evenly
 over the spread.
7. On the bottom bun stack a patty, then a slice of American cheese,
 another patty, and another slice of cheese.
8. On the top slice of cheese arrange 2-3 separated onion slices
 (rings), then 2 pickle slices.
9. Turn the top part of the burger over onto the bottom and serve.
 You may also want to zap the sandwiches in the microwave,
 individually, for 15 to 20 seconds each.
