Ingredients:
For the Patties:
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20 for best juiciness)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 egg (optional, for binding)

In a large bowl, combine ground beef, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce. If using, mix in the egg and breadcrumbs for extra texture. Form the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties.
Step 2: Cook the Patties
Heat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness. In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and let it melt.
Step 3: Toast the Buns
Lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or skillet for extra crispiness.

Spread a layer of mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard on the bottom bun. Place a lettuce leaf, a cooked patty, a slice of tomato, red onion, and pickles. Top with the other half of the bun.
