Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend for juiciness)
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp oil (for cooking, such as vegetable or avocado)
- 4 pieces burger buns
- 4 slices cheese slices (optional, such as cheddar or American)
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 4 pieces tomato slices
- 8 pieces pickle slices
- 0.25 cup ketchup
- 0.25 cup mustard
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently with your hands until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as this can make the burgers less tender.
Step 2
Divide the beef mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about ¾ inch thick. Use your thumb to create a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent it from puffing up while cooking.
Step 3
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and add the oil. Once the oil is shimmering, add the burger patties to the pan, leaving some space between each patty.
Step 4
Cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes on the first side without moving them, so they develop a good sear. Flip the patties and cook for another 3-4 minutes for medium doneness, or adjust the time to your desired level of doneness.
Step 5
If adding cheese, place a slice on top of each patty during the last minute of cooking. Cover the skillet with a lid to melt the cheese.
Step 6
While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the burger buns on another skillet or in a toaster until golden brown.
Step 7
Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by the cooked patty. Top with a tomato slice, pickle slices, ketchup, mustard, and finish with the top half of the bun.
Step 8
Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as fries or a fresh salad. Enjoy your Sarah's Famous Burgers!
