# How To Make It:

01 - Combine ground beef with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce in a large bowl. Mix gently until just incorporated, being careful not to overwork the meat.
02 - Divide the seasoned beef into 4 equal portions. Shape each into a patty approximately 3/4-inch thick, creating a shallow indentation in the center to prevent puffing during cooking.
03 - Heat grill or skillet over medium-high heat until hot.
04 - Grill patties for 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium doneness, flipping only once. Add cheese slices during the final minute and cover to melt completely.
05 - Lightly toast hamburger buns on the grill or skillet for 1 to 2 minutes until golden brown and warmed through.
06 - Layer lettuce on the bottom bun, top with the cheesy patty, then add tomato slices, red onion rings, and pickle chips. Apply condiments as desired and crown with the top bun.
07 - Serve immediately while hot, accompanied by fries, coleslaw, or salad.

  • Choose the Right Beef: An 80/20 ground beef blend is recommended for the best balance of fat and flavor, ensuring a juicy burger.
  • Don't Overmix: Mix the beef and seasonings gently until just combined. Overworking the meat can result in tough patties.
  • Prevent Puffy Patties: Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty before cooking. This helps them cook evenly and maintain a flat shape.
  • Toast Your Buns: Lightly toasting the buns on the grill or skillet for a minute adds texture and prevents them from becoming soggy.
