Instructions

1. Make Ben’s Patties

• In a mixing bowl, combine the beef, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and Worcestershire.

• Mix gently—just enough to combine.

• Shape into 4 patties about ¾-inch thick.

• Press a shallow thumb indent in the center so they stay flat while cooking.

2. Cook the Burgers

Grill or Pan:

• Heat to medium-high.

• Cook patties 3–4 minutes per side for medium doneness.

• Add a slice of cheese during the last minute so it melts perfectly.

3. Toast the Buns

• Lightly butter the buns and toast until golden and crisp on the edges.

4. Assemble Ben’s Burger

• Spread ketchup, mustard, or mayo on the bottom bun.

• Add lettuce → patty with melted cheese → tomato → onions → pickles.

• Top with the bun and serve hot.

Ben’s Tips for a Perfect Burger

• Use high-fat beef for maximum juiciness.

• Smoked paprika adds a signature smoky touch.

• Rest burgers 2–3 minutes before serving.

• For extra richness, brush patties with melted butter during the last minute of cooking
