Jordan recalls past Father’s Days with his dad, Bernie Halle, and how they often had a big sport component.

“My dad is a big sports fan,” Jordan recalls as he whips up a chipotle sauce for the soon-to-be-made burgers. “Baltimore Ravens, Baltimore Colts – you name it.”

When Jordan and Jessica welcomed their son, Myles, into the world two years ago, the typical Halle Father’s Day expanded just a little bit.

“Last year on Father’s Day we took Myles to his first Orioles game. It was me, Myles and my dad, which was really cool. It was three generations of Halle.”

Outside of Father’s Day, Jordan looks forward to celebrating other special days with Myles, like Passover.

“Passover has always been my favorite holiday. I love it, I lead the Seder. And now I’m excited to get to do that with Myles sitting next to me and hopefully, one day, he’s leading a Seder of his own.”

But what about these Halle-style burgers? Well, Jordan has a few tips and tricks, such as incorporating a special ingredient into the burger patties as well as a delicious sauce that goes well with it all. For that, check out the video and recipe below.

Hamburger

1 medium-sized yellow onion (reserve 1 tbsp for sauce if making)
1 pound 80/20 ground beef
1 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp. garlic powder
Big pinch of salt
Black pepper

If using a charcoal grill, light charcoal and wait for it to ash over. If using a gas grill, preheat grill on high for 15 minutes.
While grill heats, grate onion then mix everything together until just combined.
Form 4 equal sized burgers, dimpling the center slightly.
Once grill is hot/preheated, place burgers on the grill, keeping the lid open, about 3-4 minutes per side for medium rare.
Optional: For last 30 seconds, add cheese and/or toast buns.
Remove burgers from grill, place on buns, top as you choose!

For Sauce

1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tbsp. ketchup
1 tbsp. finely grated onion
1 tbsp. sweet relish or 1 tablespoon dill pickle relish
2 tsp. adobo sauce from canned chipotle chiles in adobo
Optional: Mince a full chili instead of using just the sauce, but note that they can be spicy.
1/8 tsp. celery salt
1/8 tsp. kosher salt

Combine everything in a medium bowl. Taste for salt, pepper, chiles.
