Gather all ingredients on a clean countertop.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce.

Shape the beef mixture into equal 1-inch thick patties with an indentation in the center.

Cover patties with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Cook the patties on a hot grill or skillet for 4-5 minutes on each side.

Let the patties rest for a few minutes before serving in buns with toppings.
