Ingredients

• 2 pounds ground beef (80% lean, 20% fat)
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 4 slices cheddar cheese slices
• 4 brioche burger buns
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 4 lettuce leaves
• 4 tomato slices
• 4 red onion slices
• 8 slices pickles
• 0.25 cup ketchup
• 0.25 cup mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons yellow mustard

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each one into a patty about 1 inch thick. Use your thumb to make a shallow dent in the center of each patty to prevent them from puffing up while cooking.

Step 3

Preheat your grill or stovetop griddle to medium-high heat. Brush the grates or surface with a little oil to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Cook the burger patties for 3-4 minutes on one side without moving them, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes or until they reach your desired level of doneness. For medium, aim for an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).

Step 5

During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty until melted.

Step 6

While the burgers are cooking, split the brioche buns in half and spread a small amount of butter on the cut sides. Toast them on the grill or a skillet until golden brown.

Step 7

To assemble the burgers, spread ketchup, mayonnaise, and mustard on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Layer with a lettuce leaf, a slice of tomato, a couple of onion rings, and two pickle slices. Add the burger patty with melted cheese on top.

Step 8

Place the top half of the bun on the burger, pressing gently to secure. Serve immediately with your favorite sides, and enjoy the Biggest Bestest Burgers!
