Method
Preparing the Burger Patties
- 1
Mix Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix gently until just combined; do not overmix.

Form Patties
Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into patties, about 3/4 inch thick. Make a slight indent in the center of each patty to prevent them from puffing up while cooking.

Cook the Patties
Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes for medium-rare, or until they reach your desired doneness. If using cheese, add a slice on top of the patties during the last minute of cooking to melt.
Assembling the Burger
- 5
Toast the Buns (optional)
If desired, lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

Build the Burger
On the bottom half of each bun, layer the lettuce, cooked patty, tomato slice, pickles, and your choice of condiments (ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise). Top with the other half of the bun.
