Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Beef Mixture
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté for 4–5 minutes until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
Add 1½ pounds ground beef and cook, breaking it apart as it browns.
When beef is fully browned (about 8–10 minutes), drain excess fat if needed.
Stir in salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, mustard, and chopped pickles (if using). Cook for another 2 minutes to combine flavors.
Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 2: Prepare the Cheeseburger Sauce
