Take a large bowl and add ground beef. Mix in salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Combine gently. Do not overmix the beef to keep it soft and juicy. Shape into equal round patties.

Divide the beef into four equal parts. Press each part gently into a round patty shape. Make a small dent in the center. This helps the burger cook evenly and stay flat during cooking.

Place a frying pan or grill pan on medium-high heat. Add a small amount of butter or oil. Let it heat properly before placing patties. A hot pan gives a nice crust on the beef.

Place patties on the hot pan. Cook for about 3–4 minutes on each side. Do not press them too much. This keeps the juices inside and makes the burger soft and juicy.

When patties are almost done, place a cheese slice on each one. Let it melt slowly. You can cover the pan for faster melting and extra creamy texture.

Cut buns in half and spread butter inside. Toast them on another pan until golden brown. This adds crunch and prevents soggy burgers.

Prepare the Burger Sauce

Mix mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard in a small bowl. Stir well until smooth. This simple sauce gives a creamy and tangy flavor to the burger.

Place lettuce on the bottom bun. Add the juicy beef patty with melted cheese. Then add tomato and pickles. Spread sauce on the top bun and close it carefully.
