Cheeseburgers hot off the grill and flavored with a secret sauce--what could be more fun? Complete the meal with a traditional potato salad.

All-American Deluxe Cheeseburgers

2 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 tablespoons spoonable Thousand Island dressing
1 pound lean ground beef
8 slices American cheese
4 kaiser rolls, split and toasted
4 large lettuce leaves
1 large tomato, sliced
4 slices purple onion
12 dill pickle slices

1. Preheat grill.
2. In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise and salad dressing; set aside.
3. Shape meat into 4 patties. Grill patties over hot coals 3 to 4 minutes on each side or to desired doneness. Top each patty with 2 cheese slices; cover. Continue grilling until cheese is melted, about 2 minutes.
4. Spread 1 tablespoon reserved dressing mixture on each roll. Fill with cooked hamburgers and top with lettuce, tomato, onion and pickles as desired. Serve immediately.
5. Stove top method: Cook patties in skillet on medium-high heat 4 to 6 minutes on each side or to desired doneness. Place cheese slices on top after patties are flipped and melt while patties finish cooking.
