minutesIngredients
1 pound ground beef
1 teaspoon paprika
0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
0.5 teaspoon onion powder
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
0.25 teaspoon salt
0.25 teaspoon black pepper
4 slices cheddar cheese
4 pieces burger buns
1 cup lettuce
1 large tomato
Directions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix evenly but do not overwork the meat.
- Divide the beef mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty that matches the size of your burger buns for even cooking.
- Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the burgers for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until fully cooked to your desired level.
- About one minute before the burgers are done, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty. Allow the cheese to melt slightly before removing from heat.
- Slice the tomato into rings and prepare the lettuce. Toast the burger buns lightly if desired for extra flavor and texture.
- Assemble the burgers by placing a patty on each bun bottom. Top with lettuce, tomato slices, and cover with the bun top. Serve immediately.
