Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese slices
- 4 Burger buns
- 4 Lettuce leaves
- 8 Tomato slices
- 12 Pickle slices
- 4 tbsp Ketchup
- 4 tbsp Mayonnaise
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Gently mix the ingredients together with your hands until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the burgers tender.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty about 3/4-inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb to prevent it from puffing up during cooking.
Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates or pan to prevent sticking.
Cook the burger patties for about 4-5 minutes on the first side, without pressing down on them to retain their juices.
Flip the patties and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty to melt.
Toast the burger buns lightly on the grill or in a toaster for extra flavor and texture.
Assemble the burgers by spreading 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a lettuce leaf, a cooked burger patty, 2 slices of tomato, 3 pickle slices, and 1 tablespoon of ketchup. Top with the other half of the bun.
Serve the burgers immediately with your favorite sides, such as fries or a salad.
