Method

Preparing the Burger Patties

  1. 1

    Mixing Ingredients

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

  2. 2

    Shaping Patties

    Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about ¾ inch thick, making a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing during cooking.

Cooking the Patties

  1. 3

    Grilling/Cooking

    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 one side.

  2. 4

    Flipping and Adding Cheese

    Flip the patties and immediately place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each patty. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the patties reach your desired doneness.

Assembling the Burger

  1. 5

    Preparing the Buns

    While the patties are cooking, slice the burger buns in half and toast them lightly on the grill or skillet until golden brown.

  2. 6

    Building the Burger

    On the bottom half of each bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the cooked patty with melted cheese, a slice of tomato, pickles, and your choice of ketchup and mustard. Top with the other half of the bun.
