Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 8 pieces burger buns
- 8 pieces cheddar cheese slices
- 8 pieces lettuce leaves
- 8 pieces tomato slices
- 16 pieces pickle slices
- 0.5 cup ketchup
- 0.25 cup mustard
- 0.25 cup mayonnaise
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix gently with your hands until just combined. Be careful not to overwork the meat.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 3/4-inch thick. Use your thumb to create a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing during cooking.
Preheat a grill or large skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates or skillet to prevent sticking.
Cook the burger patties for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer if you prefer a more well-done burger. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cover to melt the cheese.
While the burgers are cooking, lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster for added flavor and texture.
Assemble the burgers by spreading mayonnaise, ketchup, or mustard (or a combination) on the bottom half of each bun. Place a lettuce leaf, a cooked patty with melted cheese, a tomato slice, and two pickle slices on top. Finish with the top half of the bun.
Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as fries, chips, or a fresh salad, and enjoy!
