Directions
Step 1 –Preheat the grill to 375 degrees F or medium-high.
Step 2 –In a large bowl, add the beef, Worcestershire sauce, seasoning salt, garlic powder, and pepper.
Step 3 –Use your hands to mix the ingredients until they are just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Step 4 –Divide the meat mixture into fourths and use your hands to press each fourth of the mixture into the shape of a hamburger patty that is about 3/4 inch thick.
Step 5 –Make an indention in the middle of each patty to prevent bulging in the center of the hamburger as it cooks.
Step 6 –Place the burgers on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on the first side.
Step 7 –Flip the burgers over and cook until the burgers have reached the desired level of doneness, about 4-5 minutes.
Step 8 –If adding cheese, lay a slice of cheese on each burger patty about 1 minute before taking the burgers off the grill so the cheese has a chance to melt.
Step 9 –Serve the burgers on hamburger buns with your preferred hamburger toppings.
