Grilled Burgers
Juicy grilled burgers with a savory, Worcestershire-seasoned patty that cooks up flat and tender every time. It's the cookout staple, done right.
Servings: 4 burgers
Ingredients
- 2 lbs 80/20 ground chuck
- 2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 4 slices cheddar American, or pepper jack cheese (2 per burger), optional
- 4 bakery-style burger buns
- Toppings of choice
Instructions
- Preheat the grill to medium-high, 425–450°F.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground chuck, Worcestershire, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Fold gently just until combined — do not overmix.
- Divide into 4 patties, ½ to ¾ inch thick. Press a shallow dimple into the center of each.
- Grill 4–5 minutes per side for medium (140–145°F internal), or to your desired doneness.
- Add cheese in the last minute and close the lid to melt.
- Toast the buns on the grill, then serve immediately with toppings.
