Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef (80/20 blend for best flavor)
- 0.25 cup Breadcrumbs
- 1 Egg
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 4 Cheddar cheese slices
- 4 Burger buns
- 4 Lettuce leaves
- 8 Tomato slices
- 8 Pickle slices
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup Ketchup
- 2 tbsp Mustard
- 2 tbsp Butter
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently with your hands until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal portions and shape into patties about ¾ inch thick. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb to prevent puffing up while cooking.
Preheat a grill, grill pan, or skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the cooking surface to prevent sticking.
Place the patties on the grill or pan and cook for 3-4 minutes per side for medium doneness, or adjust cooking time to your preferred level of doneness. In the last 1-2 minutes of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each patty and let it melt.
While the burgers are cooking, slice the burger buns in half and spread a thin layer of butter on the cut sides. Toast the buns on the grill or in a clean skillet until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.
Assemble the burgers: Spread a layer of mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard on the bottom bun. Top with a lettuce leaf, a cooked patty with melted cheese, 2 tomato slices, and 2 pickle slices. Place the top bun on to finish the burger.
Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as fries or a salad, and enjoy!
