Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground beef (80% lean)
• 4 slices Sharp cheddar cheese slices
• 2 tbsp Prepared horseradish
• 4 tbsp Mayonnaise
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
• 0.5 tsp Onion powder
• 4 pieces Burger buns
• 2 tbsp Butter (optional, for toasting buns)
• 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
• 4 pieces Tomato slices
• 4 pieces Pickles (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise and prepared horseradish until well combined. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the burgers.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Gently mix with your hands until the seasoning is evenly distributed, but do not overmix.

Step 3

Divide the beef mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties about ¾ inch thick. Use your thumb to press a slight indent in the center of each patty to prevent bulging during cooking.

Step 4

Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. If using a grill, oil the grates lightly to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Cook the burger patties for 3-4 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side or until they reach your desired doneness (internal temperature of 160°F for fully cooked burgers). During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty to melt.

Step 6

If desired, butter the cut sides of the burger buns and toast them on the grill or skillet until golden.

Step 7

Assemble the burgers: Spread a generous amount of horseradish mayo on the bottom bun, add a lettuce leaf, a cheese-topped patty, a tomato slice, and pickles if using. Top with the other half of the bun.

Step 8

Serve hot with your favorite sides, such as French fries or a side salad.
