For the Burger Patties

1 1/2 pounds ground beef

1 tsp Celtic sea salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

1 tsp Watkins garlic powder

1 tsp Onion powder

1 tbs Original Worcestershire Sauce

For the Toppings

4 slices cheddar cheese slices

4 pieces burger buns

4 leaves Lettuce leaves

to taste Mustard

Method

Preparing the Burger Patties

Mix the Ingredients

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

Form the Patties

Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 3/4 inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent them from puffing up during cooking.

Cooking the Burgers

Preheat the Grill or Skillet

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or heat a skillet over medium-high heat on the stove.

Cook the Patties

Place the patties on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes or until they reach your desired level of doneness.

Add Cheese

During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cover to melt.

Assembling the Burgers

Prepare the Buns

While the patties are cooking, slice the burger buns in half and toast them lightly on the grill or in a toaster.

Assemble the Burgers

On the bottom half of each bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the cooked patty with melted cheese. Add slices of tomato, pickles, ketchup, and mustard to taste. Top with the other half of the bun.
