What You’ll Need: 2 pounds ground chuck 1 cup (4 ounces) diced Cheddar cheese 1/4 cup real bacon bits 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce 1/4 cup water 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon black pepper 6 hamburger buns, split What To Do: In a large bowl, combine ground chuck, cheese, bacon bits, Worcestershire sauce, water, garlic powder, salt, and pepper; mix just until combined, then shape mixture into 6 equal-sized patties. Place an indentation in center of each burger with your thumb. Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and cook patties 4 to 5 minutes per side, or cook on a pre-heated grill, until no pink remains and juices run clear. Place in buns and serve. A few tips for making the juiciest burger ever: don’t overmix your meat mixture and when cooking your burgers, never press down on burger and only flip it once during cooking. A side of French fries perhaps? We think yes!
