Guy Fieri‑Style Cheeseburger
A bold, over‑the‑top cheeseburger inspired by Guy Fieri’s flavor‑packed style. A juicy beef patty is smothered in a silky three‑cheese sauce and topped with a tangy “Donkey Sauce,” all sandwiched between buttery toasted brioche buns.

About this saved recipe
Ingredients
- 4 pieces brioche buns
- 1 lb beef mince
- 4 slices yellow cheddar
- 2 tbsp garlic butter
- 8 slices dill pickles
- 1/2 cup sweet onion
- 1 large beefsteak tomato
- 4 leaves lettuce
Donkey Sauce
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 cloves roasted garlic
- 1 tbsp yellow mustard
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp worcestershire sauce
Cheese Sauce
- 1 cup half and half
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 tsp hot sauce
- 1 tbsp worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 cup processed cheese
- 1/2 cup cheddar
- 1/2 cup gouda
- 1/2 cup provolone
Instructions
- 1Preheat a large cast‑iron griddle or heavy skillet over high heat until it is very hot (about 450°F/446°F).
- 2While the griddle heats, shape the seasoned beef mince into 4 equal balls (about 4 oz each) and season the exterior with a pinch of salt.
- 3Place the beef balls on the hot griddle; let them sear for 30 seconds, then press each ball firmly with a sturdy spatula to smash them into thin patties.
- 4Cook the smashed patties for 1‑2 minutes, allowing the juices to rise to the surface, then flip and cook another 1‑2 minutes on the other side.
- 5Immediately spoon a generous ladle of the prepared cheese sauce over each patty, add a slice of yellow cheddar on top, cover the griddle with a lid, and let steam for 30 seconds until the cheese melts.
- 6While the patties finish, spread the garlic‑butter on the cut sides of the brioche buns and toast them on the griddle until golden brown, about 1 minute per side.
- 7Spread a thick layer of Donkey Sauce on both the bottom and top halves of the toasted buns.
- 8Assemble each burger: bottom bun, a layer of Donkey Sauce, dill pickle slices, sweet onion rings, the cheese‑smothered patty, tomato slice, lettuce leaf, another drizzle of Donkey Sauce, and finally the top bun.
- 9Serve the burgers immediately while the patties are hot and the buns are crisp.
