directions

Preheat a grill or large skillet over medium-high heat.

In a large bowl, gently mix the ground beef with Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Avoid overmixing to keep the burgers tender.

Divide the meat into equal portions and shape into thick patties, making a slight indentation in the center of each to prevent puffing during cooking.

Grill or sear the patties for about 4–5 minutes per side, or until desired doneness. Add cheddar slices during the last minute of cooking to melt.

While the burgers cook, lightly butter the burger buns and toast them on the grill or in a pan until golden brown.

Assemble the burgers with lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, and your preferred condiments.

Serve hot and enjoy.
