Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef (80% lean, 20% fat)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 4 slices Cheddar cheese slices
• 4 pieces Hamburger buns
• 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
• 1 medium Tomato, sliced
• 1 medium Red onion, sliced
• 8 slices Pickles
• 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 4 tablespoons Ketchup
• 2 teaspoons Mustard
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix gently with your hands until just combined. Do not overwork the meat.

Step 2

Divide the beef mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties about 3/4 inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb to prevent puffing up during cooking.

Step 3

Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates or add vegetable oil to the skillet to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Place the burger patties on the grill or skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on the first side. Flip the burgers, add a slice of cheddar cheese to each patty, and cook for another 3-4 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C) for well-done burgers.

Step 5

Toast the hamburger buns on the grill or in the skillet for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden.

Step 6

Assemble the burgers: Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun. Add a piece of lettuce, a slice of tomato, and a cooked burger patty. Top with 2 pickle slices, a few rings of red onion, and your desired amount of ketchup and mustard. Place the top half of the bun on each assembled burger.

Step 7

Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes such as fries, coleslaw, or a crisp dill pickle.
