Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 tablespoon Bloody Mary Seasoning
- 4 slices pepper jack cheese (Note 1)
- 4 Brioche-style buns or gluten free hamburger buns
- Mayonnaise for hamburger buns
Bloody Mary Ketchup:
- 8 ounces tomato sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce (Note 2)
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon prepared horseradish (Note 3)
- 1 tablespoon Bloody Mary Seasoning
Burger Toppings:
- Lettuce, Sliced Tomato, Cooked Bacon, Pickled Jalapenos
Burger Granish Ideas:
- Cubed Cheddar Cheese, Cubed Pepper Jack Cheese, Stuffed Green Olives, Black Olives, Baby Dill Pickles, Hard-Boiled Eggs, Beef Stick
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine the tomato sauce, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, horseradish, and Bloody Mary seasoning. Stir to combine. Simmer over medium-low heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine the ground beef and Bloody Mary seasoning. Mix just until combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
- Divide the beef into 4 equal portions. Use a burger press to form the patties. For easy removal and cleanup, line the burger press with plastic wrap before adding the beef. Transfer the patties to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Use your thumb to make a small indent in the center of each patty to help prevent the burgers from puffing up as they cook.
- Lightly sprinkle the outside of each burger with additional Bloody Mary seasoning. Cook over medium-high heat on a skillet, grill, or Blackstone griddle for 3–4 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F.
- During the last minute of cooking, top each burger with a slice of pepper jack cheese. Cook until the cheese is melted.
- Toast the buns and spread mayonnaise on both sides. Add the burgers and top with lettuce, tomato, Bloody Mary ketchup, bacon, or your favorite toppings.
- For the Bloody Mary garnish, thread a cheese cube, stuffed green olive, and baby pickle onto a toothpick. Insert the toothpick through the top bun and serve.
