Instructions

1. Prepare the Patties

• In a bowl, gently mix the beef with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Worcestershire.

• Form into 4 patties, about ¾-inch thick.

• Press a small indent in the center of each patty so it cooks evenly.

2. Cook the Burgers

Grill or Pan Method:

• Preheat to medium-high heat.

• Cook patties for 3–4 minutes per side for medium, or longer if you prefer well-done.

• Add cheese during the last minute if you want melted American cheese.

3. Toast the Buns

• Lightly butter the buns and toast them on the grill or pan until golden.

4. Assemble

• Bottom bun → sauce → lettuce → patty → cheese → tomato → onion → pickles → top bun.

Tips for the Best All-American Burgers

• Don’t overmix the meat; it makes the burgers tough.

• 80/20 ground chuck gives the perfect flavor and juiciness.

• Let patties rest 3 minutes before assembling.

• For extra flavor, brush the patties lightly with butter while grilling.
