Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef 85% lean
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1/4 cup Onion finely chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese
- 4 leaves Lettuce

Instructions
Getting the Patties Ready
- Mix ground beef, salt, black pepper, chopped onion, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce in a bowl.
- Divide the mixture into four equal parts and form into patties.
- Always let your patties sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before grilling. It helps in cooking them evenly.
Cooking the Burgers
- Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat.
- Cook the patties for about 5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer if you prefer them more done.
- Add a slice of cheddar to each patty in the last minute of cooking, allowing it to melt.
- A meat thermometer is your best friend for perfect doneness. Aim for 160°F for fully cooked burgers.
Assembling the Burgers
- Toast the burger buns lightly on the grill or skillet.
- Place a lettuce leaf on each bun bottom, followed by the burger patty.
- Top with tomato, red onion, and pickles.
- Cap it off with the bun top and serve immediately.
- Toasting the buns adds a delightful crunch and prevents them from getting soggy.
Notes
- For Juicier Burgers: Don’t press down on the patties while they’re cooking. It squeezes out the tasty juices.
- Customize Your Toppings: Feel free to add or substitute toppings based on your preferences. Avocado, bacon, or even a fried egg can turn your burger into a gourmet feast.
