  To make patties, roll six 5 oz. sirloin balls and form each ball into a patty. Arrange on a tray, cover and refrigerate. Toast the buns and set aside.

  Heat large skillet over reduce heat to medium and put patties into skillet. Season the patties with salt and pepper and cook for 3 minutes. Flip and cook on the other side for 3 minutes more for medium rare doneness. To assemble the burgers, put 1 patty on 1 toasted bun bottom. Top the patty with some chili and cheese sauce, 1/4 cup sour cram and 1/4 cup scallions. Cover with the bun top. Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Don’t forget to wrap the sandwiches in wax paper. Let rest for 2 to 3 minutes and serve.

  Note: Before you do anything, precut 12 inch square pieces of wax paper, one for each burger. It’s the secret to success and I share it with you now. If you’re grilling, toast the buns just before the burgers are done. spread a little butter on cut surfaces of the buns, then put them face down on the top rack. Close the lid and a minute or two later, the buns are toasted and ready for toppings. If you’re not grilling, you can easily toast the buns under the broiler. Put the buns face up on a cookie sheet, put a dab of butter on them and broil for a few seconds. Yes, seconds. Once the buns are toasted, put the patty, lettuce, tomato and onion over. finish with a little sauce on the bun top. This next step is the most important, and harks back to the old days of burger making. Take one precut sheet of wax paper, wrap the burger and let it sit for 2 to 3 minutes. This will allow the buns to absorb the flavors of the meat and toppings.
