Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (80% lean, 20% fat)
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated onion
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 hamburger buns
- 4 slices cheddar cheese
- Lettuce leaves

Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, grated onion, egg, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until well combined.
- Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 3/4-inch thick.
- Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) for medium doneness.
- During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each patty and allow it to melt.
- Lightly toast the hamburger buns on the grill for about 1 minute, or until golden brown.
- Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a cooked patty, tomato slice, red onion slice, and pickles. Spread mayonnaise and mustard on the top half of the bun and place it on top of the assembled ingredients.
