Instructions:

Prepare the Patties:

1. In a large mixing bowl, add the ground beef.
2. Sprinkle the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder over the meat.
3. Drizzle the Worcestershire sauce over the meat.
4. Add the grated cheddar cheese to the meat mixture.
5. Gently mix the seasonings, sauce, and cheese into the meat. Be careful not to overwork the mixture.

Shape the Cheesy Patties:

1. Divide the seasoned meat and cheese mixture into 4 equal portions.
2. Shape each portion into a round patty, about 2cm thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb to prevent excessive puffing during cooking.

Preheat the Grill or Skillet:

Preheat a grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. Ensure the cooking surface is clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.

Cook the Cheesy Patties:

1. Place the patties onto the preheated grill or skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on the first side, or until juices begin to form on the top surface.
2. Flip the patties with a spatula and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes on the other side. Adjust cooking time based on your preferred level of doneness.
3. If desired, place a cheese slice on each patty during the last minute of cooking and cover the grill or skillet to melt the cheese.

Assemble the Cheesy Burgers:

Add your choice of toppings, such as lettuce, tomato slices, red onion slices, additional cheese slices, pickles, ketchup, mustard, and mayonnaise.

Serve and Enjoy:

Serve the cheesy homemade burger patties immediately, while they are still warm and gooey.
