1. Preheat the oven to 350 ºF. Season both sides of the burger patties with salt and pepper. Place the burgers in a hot cast iron skillet, and smash until about ¼ inch thick. Once a heavy crust has formed on one side, flip and press again.
2. Top two patties with a slice of cheddar, and allow the cheese to melt. Meanwhile, warm the buns in the oven. 3. Remove the buns from the oven, and dress both sides with yuzu kosho sauce. On the bottom half of each bun, arrange five pickle slices.
With a generous puddle of cheese sauce adorning the tender patty and pillowy bun, this horseradish cheddar burger is a cookout homerun.
