Notes
*I use 80/20 ground beef, which I found to be the most flavorful for the cost. I wouldn't use a fattier beef as it'll seep too much fat, but leaner beef should work just fine. You can also use other ground meat like chicken, pork, or turkey.
**Any burger or “special” sauce works well in place of the Thousand Island dressing! Ranch, BBQ sauce, mayonnaise, ketchup, or mustard are all good options too.
