Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20)
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 4 slices cheddar cheese
- 4 hamburger buns
- 4 leaves lettuce
- 4 slices tomato
- 4 slices onion
- ketchup and mustard to taste
Instructions
- Divide ground beef into 4 equal portions and shape into patties slightly larger than the buns, about 3/4 inch thick. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce.
- Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook patties for 4 minutes on the first side, then flip and place a slice of cheese on each. Cook for another 3-4 minutes for medium doneness.
- During the last minute, toast the hamburger buns on the grill or in a toaster until lightly golden.
- Assemble burgers: place lettuce on bottom bun, then patty with cheese, tomato, onion, and condiments. Top with bun.
- Serve immediately with your favorite sides.
Tips
- Handle the meat gently to avoid tough burgers; make a small indent in the center of each patty to prevent puffing.
- Let patties rest for 2 minutes after cooking to allow juices to redistribute.
- Store leftover cooked patties in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat in a skillet.
