Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef (80% lean)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 4 pieces Burger buns
- 4 pieces Cheddar cheese slices
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 1 large Tomato, sliced
- 0.5 medium Red onion, thinly sliced
- 8 slices Pickles
- 4 tablespoons Ketchup
- 4 teaspoons Mustard
- 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix gently with your hands until just combined. Do not overmix.
Divide the seasoned beef mixture into four equal portions, shaping each into a patty about 3/4 inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb to prevent them from puffing up during cooking.
Preheat a grill or a large skillet over medium-high heat. If using a skillet, lightly grease it with a bit of oil.
Place the patties on the grill or skillet. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip.
Place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and continue cooking for another 4-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the patty is cooked to your desired doneness.
While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster.
Assemble the burgers: Spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a layer of lettuce, a cooked beef patty, tomato slices, red onion slices, pickles, and a dollop of ketchup and mustard. Top with the bun tops.
Serve immediately with your favorite sides, and enjoy your homemade hamburger!
