Form the beef patties: Divide the ground beef into 4 equal portions. Gently form each portion into a patty, slightly wider than your burger buns, as they will shrink during cooking. Season both sides of each patty generously with salt and black pepper.

Preheat your grill or a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. If using a skillet, add a small amount of oil (e.g., vegetable or canola) to prevent sticking.

Grill the patties: Place the seasoned beef patties on the hot grill or skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer for desired doneness. For the 'flame-grilled' effect, aim for a good sear on both sides.
⏱️ 15 min

Melt the cheese: During the last minute of cooking, place 2 slices of cheese on top of each patty. Cover the grill or skillet with a lid (or tent with foil) to help the cheese melt quickly and evenly.
⏱️ 1 min
- 6
Toast the buns: While the cheese is melting, lightly toast the sesame seed burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.
⏱️ 2 min
- 7
Assemble the Great King Yeti: Spread a generous amount of the creamy sauce on both the top and bottom halves of each toasted bun. On the bottom bun, layer a few slices of white onion and dill pickles. Place one cheeseburger patty on top of the pickles, then add another layer of white onion and pickles. Top with the second cheeseburger patty. Finish with more white onion and pickles, then place the top bun.
