For the Burgers

1. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients and mix together with hands. We're trying to mix the meats well together.
2. Using a kitchen scale (or your best guess) measure out 2 ounce meat balls, roll into a ball with your hand and then press together to 1/4 inch thickness between two pieces of wax paper.
3. Repeat until all meat has been pressed into patties. You should have 16 patties at the end. (32 ounces of meat divided by 2 ounce patties). Set aside.
4. Heat your griddle on high and lightly oil to keep the patties from sticking.

For the burger sauce

1. While the griddle is heating, mix all ingredients together in a bowl and adjust at the end if it's not to your specifications. If you need additional sweetness add ketchup, if you need more creaminess add mayonnaise. You should be left with a slightly tangy, apricot-colored sauce that is easily spreadable with a spoon.
2. When the griddle is hot, place the burgers on the griddle and cook roughly 1-2 minutes on each side. Once you've flipped from the first side, add your cheese to the other side.
3. While the second side is cooking, add the burger buns to toast a little before serving.
4. Remove the burger patties from the griddle and place directly on the bottom burger bun on a plate. Add a healthy dollop of the burger sauce and two bread and butter pickles. Top with top bun. Serve and eat immediately.
