Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Dice the onion and mince the garlic.
Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently.
Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Cook for 5-7 minutes, until browned and fully cooked.
Season the beef with salt and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
Lower the heat to medium and stir in the ketchup, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Cook for 2-3 minutes until well combined and heated through.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly across the skillet. Cover with a lid and cook for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted.
While the cheese is melting, dice the tomato, chop the pickles, and shred the lettuce.
Lightly toast the burger buns (optional) and slice into bite-sized pieces.
Once the cheese has melted, remove the skillet from heat and top the burger mixture with the lettuce, tomatoes, and pickles.
Serve immediately with the toasted bun pieces on the side for dipping or scooping.
