- Mix the beef: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, pepper, garlic powder, diced onions, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix gently until just combined—don’t overwork it.
- Shape the patties: Divide the meat into 2 equal portions and form each into a patty about ¾ inch thick. Use your thumb to press a shallow dimple into the center of each patty—this helps prevent them from puffing up.
- Cook the patties:
Stovetop or Grill: Heat a cast-iron skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 3–4 minutes per side, depending on your desire. - Toast the buns: Split the buns, lather butter on both and toast them lightly on the skillet or grill for 1–2 minutes until golden.
- Assemble the burger: Place the cooked patty on the bun bottom, spray the mesquite on the burger , add mayo to both sides of the bun, relish on top and pickles on the bottom.
