Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef (80/20 mix)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 4 slices Cheese slices (optional)
• 4 Burger buns
• 4 Lettuce leaves
• 4 Tomato slices
• 4 Red onion slices
• 8 Pickle slices
• 2 tablespoons Ketchup
• 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon Mustard
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix gently with your hands until evenly combined, being careful not to overmix.

Step 2

Divide the beef mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty approximately 4 inches in diameter and 3/4-inch thick. Press a small indentation into the center of each patty to help them cook evenly.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil to the pan if using a skillet.

Step 4

Place the patties in the hot skillet or on the grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes on the first side without moving them to achieve a good sear.

Step 5

Flip the patties and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the second side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F for well-done burgers or your desired doneness.

Step 6

If using cheese, place a slice on top of each patty during the last minute of cooking and cover the pan with a lid or tent with aluminum foil to melt the cheese.

Step 7

Toast the burger buns lightly in the same pan or on the grill for about 1 minute until golden brown.

Step 8

Assemble the burgers by spreading ketchup, mayonnaise, and mustard on the bottom halves of the buns. Place the cooked patties on top, followed by lettuce, tomato slices, onion slices, and pickle slices. Finish with the top halves of the buns.

Step 9

Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes like fries, chips, or a salad. Enjoy!
