Instructions

Prepare the Animal Style sauce by mixing mayonnaise, ketchup, sweet pickle relish, yellow mustard, white wine vinegar, sugar, garlic powder, and onion powder in a bowl. Whisk until smooth and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Caramelize onions by melting butter and olive oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add sliced onions, sugar, and salt; cook for 35-45 minutes until golden brown.
Form ground beef into loosely packed balls and season with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Heat a cast iron skillet over high heat and add oil. Smash beef balls flat and cook without moving for 2-3 minutes until caramelized.
Flip patties, add cheese slices on top, and cook for an additional minute until melted.
Assemble bowls starting with shredded lettuce followed by diced tomatoes, raw onions, caramelized onions, cheese-covered patties, dill pickle slices, and drizzle with Animal Style sauce.
