Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground beef (80/20)
• 0.5 cup Yellow onion, finely diced
• 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 1 tbsp Olive oil
• 4 pieces Cheddar cheese slices (optional)
• 4 pieces Burger buns
• 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
• 4 pieces Tomato slices
• 4 slices Pickles (optional)
• 2 tbsp Ketchup (optional)
• 2 tbsp Mayonnaise (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, diced onion, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly but gently to avoid overworking the meat.

Step 2

Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into burger patties about ¾ inch thick. Use your thumb to gently press a shallow indent into the center of each patty; this helps them cook evenly and prevents them from puffing up.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Drizzle olive oil onto the surface once hot.

Step 4

Cook the burger patties for about 4-5 minutes on the first side, without pressing down on them, to retain their juices.

Step 5

Flip the patties and cook for another 3-4 minutes for medium doneness. If adding cheese, place a slice on each patty during the last 2 minutes of cooking and cover with a lid to melt the cheese.

Step 6

Lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster, if desired.

Step 7

Assemble the burgers by layering the bottom bun with lettuce, followed by the cooked patty, tomato, pickles, and your choice of condiments like ketchup and mayonnaise. Top with the other half of the bun.

Step 8

Serve immediately with your favorite sides such as fries or a salad, and enjoy!
