cheddar, breadcrumbs, diced onion, minced garlic, Dijon, Worcestershire, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix only until everything is evenly distributed \u2014 avoid compacting the meat.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-2\">Form the patties: Divide the mixture into four portions and press each into a round patty about \u00be inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to help them cook flat.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-3\">Cook: Warm a skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Pan-fry the patties 5\u20136 minutes per side, turning once, until they develop a golden crust and an internal temperature of 165\u00b0F (75\u00b0C) is reached.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-4\">Rest and build: Let the cooked burgers rest for a few minutes to retain juices. Place each patty on a bun and top with lettuce, tomato, extra cheese, or whatever you like.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-5\">Serve: Enjoy alongside a green salad, oven-baked fries, or wrapped in lettuce for a lighter option.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\t<hr data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"secondary-color.border-color secondary-color.background-color\">\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"tasty-recipes-notes\">\n\t\t\t<h3 data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"h3-color.color h3-transform.text-transform\">Notes<\/h3>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"tasty-recipes-notes-body\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"body-color.color\">\n\t\t\t\t<p>Storage note: Refrigerate any cooked leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3\u20134 days; reheat gently in a skillet.
