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

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

Divide the ground beef into 4 equal portions. Form each portion lightly into a ball.

Step 3

Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil.

Step 4

Once hot, place the beef balls onto the skillet. Press each one firmly with a spatula to form patties.

Step 5

Season each patty with a pinch of kosher salt and black pepper.

Step 6

Let the patties cook for about 3 minutes on one side, then flip.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Meanwhile, toast the dairy-free buns in a toaster or on another skillet until golden brown.

Step 9

Assemble the burgers by spreading the special sauce on each side of the toasted buns.

Step 10

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.

Step 11

Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make all the burgers.

Step 12

Serve immediately and enjoy your Dairy-Free Shake Shack Style Burger!
