Place the ground beef in a large mixing bowl.
Add the garlic powder, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce.
Gently mix the spices into the ground beef, being careful not to overmix.
Form the meat into a large patty and place it on a cutting board.
Cut the patty into 4 equal triangles, then shape each triangle into a hamburger patty, each weighing about 6 ounces.
Press your thumb into the center of each patty to create an indent.
Place the patties in the fridge until ready to cook.
Preheat your grill to medium-high.
Place the burgers on the hot grill, indent side up, and close the lid. Cook for about 5 minutes.
Flip the burgers and cook for another 5 minutes or until the beef reaches 160°F.
Serve hamburgers on your favorite bun along with toppings.
Alternatively, heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and cook the burger patties for about 3 minutes per side.

Make sure not to overmix the ground beef. Try using a meat thermometer for perfect cooking.
