Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef (80% lean, 20% fat)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese slices
- 4 pieces Hamburger buns
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 1 medium Tomato, sliced
- 1 medium Red onion, sliced
- 8 slices Pickles
- 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 4 tablespoons Ketchup
- 2 teaspoons Mustard
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix gently with your hands until just combined. Do not overwork the meat.
Divide the beef mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties about 3/4 inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb to prevent puffing up during cooking.
Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates or add vegetable oil to the skillet to prevent sticking.
Place the burger patties on the grill or skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on the first side. Flip the burgers, add a slice of cheddar cheese to each patty, and cook for another 3-4 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C) for well-done burgers.
Toast the hamburger buns on the grill or in the skillet for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden.
Assemble the burgers: Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun. Add a piece of lettuce, a slice of tomato, and a cooked burger patty. Top with 2 pickle slices, a few rings of red onion, and your desired amount of ketchup and mustard. Place the top half of the bun on each assembled burger.
Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes such as fries, coleslaw, or a crisp dill pickle.
