Double Cheeseburgers with Special Sauce

A little beef goes a long way with the addition of onions and mushrooms. The vegetables also add moisture and flavor to the lean meat. Topped with a tangy homemade sauce, crunchy pickle slices, fresh lettuce and sharp cheddar, this burger is a real crowd-pleaser.

1
Using a food processor or a knife, finely chop the onions and mushrooms. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, onion and mushrooms. Season with the salt and mix well. Divide the mixture into 12 portions and roll each into a ball. Flatten each ball between the palms of your hands. Set patties on a baking sheet and refrigerate while you make the sauce.
2
In a small bowl, combine the yogurt, ketchup, relish, vinegar, salt and pepper; set aside.
3
In a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray, cook the burgers over medium-high heat, in batches, about 3 minutes per side, or until cooked to your desired doneness. Top 6 of the patties with cheese slices as soon as they come out of the pan.
4
Assemble the burgers: Layer 2 patties (one of them with cheese), 3 pickle slices, a piece of lettuce and some of the sauce on each bun.
