Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meat Mixture

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Use your hands to mix the ingredients gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the patties tender.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal portions. With lightly moistened hands, shape each portion into a patty approximately 3/4 inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb to help them cook evenly.

  3. 3

    Cook the Patties

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the patties on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).

  4. 4

    Add Cheese (Optional)

    If using cheese, place a slice on each patty during the last minute of cooking. Cover the grill or skillet to help the cheese melt.

  5. 5

    Rest and Serve

    Remove the patties from the heat and let them rest for a few minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute. Serve on hamburger buns with your choice of toppings.
