Perfectly seasoned beef patties grilled to juicy perfection, served on toasted buns with classic toppings like cheese, crisp lettuce, and ripe tomatoes.
# What You Need:
→ Beef Patties
01 - 1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend)
02 - 1 tsp salt
03 - 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
04 - 1/2 tsp garlic powder
05 - 1/2 tsp onion powder
06 - 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
→ Burger Assembly
07 - 4 hamburger buns
08 - 4 slices cheddar cheese (optional)
09 - 1 large tomato, sliced
10 - 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
11 - 4 lettuce leaves
12 - 4 slices dill pickle
13 - Ketchup, mayonnaise, and mustard to taste
# How To Make It:
01 - Combine ground beef, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce in a large bowl. Mix gently until just combined—avoid overworking the meat.
02 - Divide mixture into 4 equal portions. Shape into patties approximately 3/4-inch thick, creating a slight indentation in the center of each to prevent puffing during cooking.
03 - Heat grill or skillet over medium-high heat until hot.
04 - Place patties on the preheated surface. Cook for 3–4 minutes per side for medium doneness, flipping once. If adding cheese, place a slice on each patty during the final minute and cover to melt.
05 - Lightly toast hamburger buns on the grill or skillet for 1–2 minutes until golden and slightly crisp.
06 - Layer lettuce on the bottom bun, add the cooked patty, then arrange tomato, onion, pickles, and condiments as desired. Top with the upper bun and serve immediately.
