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
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 2
Gently mix the ingredients together with your hands until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the burgers tender.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates or pan to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Cook the burger patties for about 4-5 minutes on the first side, without pressing down on them to retain their juices.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Toast the burger buns lightly on the grill or in a toaster for extra flavor and texture.
Step 8
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.
Step 9
Serve the burgers immediately with your favorite sides, such as fries or a salad.
