Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 1 lb (454 grams) ground beef
Cheese and Flavor Enhancers:
- 1/2 cup (50 grams) grated Parmesan cheese
- 4 slices cheddar cheese
Seasonings and Aromatics:
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
Burger Components:
- 4 hamburger buns
Garnish and Condiments:
- Lettuce leaves
- Tomato slices
- Mayonnaise
- Ketchup
Instructions
- Gently blend ground beef with aromatic garlic, rich Parmesan, tangy Worcestershire sauce, and seasoning in a spacious mixing vessel until ingredients are harmoniously incorporated.
- Carefully shape the meat mixture into four uniform patties, ensuring even thickness for consistent cooking.
- Heat a grill or skillet to medium-high temperature, creating an ideal surface for searing the meat.
- Position patties on the hot cooking surface, allowing each side to develop a beautiful caramelized crust for approximately 5 minutes, adjusting cooking time based on preferred meat doneness.
- During the final minute of cooking, crown each patty with a velvety slice of cheddar cheese, permitting it to melt luxuriously over the meat.
- Prepare burger foundations by layering crisp lettuce and juicy tomato slices on the bottom bun halves.
- Transfer the molten cheese-topped patties onto the prepared bun bases.
- Enhance the burger’s flavor profile by generously spreading creamy mayonnaise and zesty ketchup across the meat.
- Complete the culinary creation by crowning with the top bun halves, creating a perfect handheld feast.
Notes
- Ensure ground beef is cold when mixing to help patties hold together better and maintain a juicy texture.
- Avoid overworking the meat mixture, which can make burgers tough and dense – gently mix just until ingredients are combined.
- Use a meat thermometer to check internal temperature reaches 160°F for food safety, preventing undercooked meat risks.
- Try alternative cheese options like Swiss or pepper jack for different flavor profiles that complement the burger’s savory elements.
