Ingredients
Scale
For the Burgers:
- 1 ½ pounds ground beef (80/20 blend for juiciness)
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon butter (optional, for added richness)
For Toppings & Assembly:
- 4 burger buns (brioche or sesame seed buns work great)
- 4 slices cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)
- Lettuce leaves
- Sliced tomatoes
- Sliced red onions
- Pickles
- Ketchup, mustard, mayo, or your favorite sauces
Instructions
- Prepare the Burger Patties:
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt. Mix gently until just combined (avoid overmixing to keep the burgers tender).
- Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties, about ¾-inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb to prevent it from puffing up during cooking.
- Cook the Burgers:
- Preheat your grill, skillet, or griddle to medium-high heat.
- Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on one side. Flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes for medium doneness (adjust time for your preferred level of doneness).
- During the last minute of cooking, add a slice of cheese to each patty and let it melt.
- Toast the Buns:
- Lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or in a skillet for 1-2 minutes until golden.
- Assemble the Burgers:
- Spread your favorite sauces on the bottom bun. Add the cooked patty, then layer with lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, and any other toppings you love.
- Top with the other half of the bun and press gently.
- Serve:
- Serve immediately with a side of fries, coleslaw, or your favorite BBQ sides.
