Recipe: A&W Papa Burger and Super Papa Burger

I miss the old Papa burgers myself.

THE A&W PAPA BURGER

1/5 pound ground chuck
SECRET SAUCE:
1 tablespoon Kraft mayonnaise
2 teaspoons Heinz hamburger relish (the red stuff)
PAPA BURGER:
1 large sesame seed bun
1/4 cup chopped iceberg lettuce
2 Vlasic hamburger slices
1 slice American cheese
salt and pepper

On waxed paper, form the 1/5 pound beef patty. It should be about 1/4 inch thick and 5 inches in diameter. Freeze at least an hour.

SECRET SAUCE:
Mix the mayonnaise with the relish to make the 'secret sauce'. Set aside.

PAPA BURGER:
Fire up the indoor electric grill, or outdoor barbecue. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for pre-heating.

Toast the buns by laying them face down on the grill for 30-60 seconds. (About 30 seconds for outdoor barbecue, 60 for indoor.)

Cook the frozen beef patty about 2 minutes per side, (outdoor barbecue) or 3 minutes per side (indoor barbecue grill). Salt and pepper liberally on both sides.

Dress your toasted top buns (crown) in the following order:
special sauce
pickles
lettuce
cheese

Place the cooked beef patty on top of the dressed bun, and add the bottom. (heel)

Microwave about 10 seconds to warm the bun, and serve OR wrap in a 12x12-inch sheet of foil, and warm in your oven (200 degrees F) 2-3 minutes then serve.

THE SUPER PAPA BURGER:
Proceed as above, except cook two beef patties per burger instead of one, placing the cheese in between the patties.
