Our Sweet Fire Lineup of Pickles are great with a lot of things like topping off a Reuben Sandwich!  Here are a few ways that we like to enjoy them below.

Spicy Reuben Sandwich

 

🍔 Smash Burger with Sweet Fire Pickles

This one’s got serious diner vibes with a twist — thin, crispy-edged beef patties, melty cheese, and those 🔥 sweet pickles to cut through the richness.

🧂 Ingredients (for 2 burgers)

🔥 For the Smash Patties:

  • 1/2 lb ground beef (80/20 is ideal for juicy burgers)

  • Salt + pepper

  • Neutral oil or butter (for the skillet)

🧀 Toppings:

  • 4–6 slices Sweet Fire Pickles

  • 2 slices American cheese (or cheddar if you want a sharper bite)

  • Burger buns, toasted (brioche or potato buns are 👌)

  • Optional extras:

    • Thinly sliced onion (griddled or raw)

    • Spicy mayo or garlic aioli

    • Lettuce or shredded cabbage for crunch

🍳 Instructions

🔥 Smash Time:

  1. Preheat a cast iron skillet or griddle over high heat until it’s ripping hot.

  2. Divide beef into 2 loose balls (don’t pack them tight).

  3. Add a tiny bit of oil to the skillet.

  4. Place beef ball in the skillet and smash it flat with a spatula (use parchment or foil between spatula and beef if needed). Get it THIN.

  5. Season with salt + pepper.

  6. Let it cook undisturbed until edges are crispy and browned (about 1.5–2 min).

  7. Flip, add cheese, and cook another 1 minute.

🧅 Optional Griddled Onions:

  • Before the burger, toss some thinly sliced onions on the hot skillet with a little oil and cook until soft and golden.

🍔 Build It:

  1. Toast buns in butter until golden.

  2. Add a smear of spicy mayo or aioli (optional but recommended).

  3. Lay down the cheeseburger patty, top with Sweet Fire Pickles.

  4. Add onions, lettuce, or your favorite extras.

  5. Top with the bun, give it a gentle squish… and try not to devour it in 2 bites.

✨ Pro Tips:

  • Sweet Fire Pickles are 🔥 with a bit of smoky bacon or jalapeño jam if you want to get wild.

  • Make it a double smash for extra crispy-cheesy action.

  • Serve with fries or tots dusted with a little smoked paprika + garlic salt.

🍳 Instructions

1. Make the Slaw:

  • In a bowl, mix cabbage, chopped pickles, pineapple, mayo, honey, and a little pickle juice.

2. Heat or Reheat Brisket:

  • If it’s already cooked, gently reheat it with a splash of BBQ sauce or broth to keep it juicy.

3. Assemble Sliders:

  • Toast your buns lightly.

  • Add a layer of brisket.

  • Top with a spoonful of slaw.

  • Drizzle with extra pickle juice or BBQ sauce if you’re feelin’ wild.
