• 3 brioche buns
• 2 tbsp mayonnaise
• 2 tbsp yellow mustard
• 2 tbsp SPG Blend seasoning
• 3 slices pepper jack cheese
• 2 tbsp truffle hot sauce

For the Viral Pickle Dip

Prepare one batch of my homemade Viral Pickle Dip before assembling the burgers. You’ll find the complete step-by-step recipe on Burnt Pellet BBQ. The ingredients you’ll need are:

• 1 jar dill pickles, finely chopped
• ¼ cup green onions, sliced
• ¼ cup pickled jalapeños, chopped
• ½ pound thick-cut bacon, cooked and chopped
• 4 oz cheddar cheese, shredded
• 8 oz whipped cream cheese
• ½ cup sour cream
• 2 tbsp mayonnaise
• 1 ranch seasoning packet
• 2 tbsp hot sauce

How to Make Pickle Dip Grilled Burgers

1. Prepare the Pickle Dip

First, prepare one batch of my homemade Viral Pickle Dip using the ingredients listed above or by following the complete recipe on Burnt Pellet BBQ. Then, refrigerate the dip while you prepare the burgers. This allows the creamy dip to chill and gives the flavors time to blend together before serving.

2. Mix the Ground Beef

Meanwhile, place the ground beef into a large mixing bowl. Add the mayonnaise and mustard, then gently mix until everything is evenly combined.

Form the mixture into three equal burger patties, making a slight indentation in the center of each patty to help them cook evenly.

3. Season the Burger Patties

Next, generously season both sides of each burger patty with the SPG Blend. The simple seasoning allows the beef to remain the star while complementing the creamy pickle dip.

4. Grill the Burgers

Preheat your grill to high heat. Once it’s hot, place the burger patties directly over the heat.

Cook for about 2 to 3 minutes per side, flipping as needed until the burgers reach an internal temperature of 155°F.

During the final minute of cooking, place a slice of pepper jack cheese on each burger and allow it to melt completely.

5. Toast the Brioche Buns

While the burgers finish cooking, spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on the cut sides of the brioche buns. Place them cut-side down on a griddle or skillet over medium heat until they’re lightly toasted and golden brown.

6. Assemble the Burgers

Place each burger on the bottom buns. Then add a generous scoop of Homemade Pickle Dip over the melted cheese before finishing with a drizzle of truffle hot sauce. Finally, add the top bun and serve and enjoy!

The combination of juicy beef, creamy dip, crispy bacon, chopped dill pickles, and melted cheese creates one unforgettable cheeseburger that’s packed with flavor without being overcomplicated.

Expert Tips

For the juiciest burgers, avoid overworking the ground beef when mixing the mayonnaise and mustard. Gently combine the ingredients just until incorporated before forming the burger patties.

In addition, make a slight indentation in the center of each burger patty before grilling. This simple trick helps the burgers cook more evenly and prevents them from puffing up on the grill.

For even more flavor, prepare the Homemade Viral Pickle Dip a few hours ahead of time. As a result, the chopped dill pickles, ranch seasoning, bacon, and fresh ingredients have time to blend together into a rich, creamy dip.

Finally, don’t skip toasting the brioche buns. A golden brown bun adds texture while helping hold the creamy dip in place from the first bite to the last.

Variations for Pickle Dip Grilled Burgers

This burger is easy to customize with your favorite toppings.

• Swap the pepper jack cheese for cheddar, Swiss, or American cheese.
• Add sliced sweet onion, lettuce, or fresh tomato for extra freshness.
• Use a spicier hot sauce if you enjoy more heat.
• Mix chopped jalapeños directly into the ground beef for an extra kick.
• Prefer smash burgers? Simply divide the meat into smaller portions and cook them on a hot griddle until nicely browned.

No matter which variation you choose, them homemade Viral Pickle Dip remains the star of this burger recipe.

Storage

Store leftover Pickle Dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. It’s also delicious served with crackers, tortilla chips, fresh vegetables, or as a spread for sandwiches.

If you have leftover burgers, store the cooked patties separately from the buns and dip. Then reheat the burgers before assembling for the best texture.
