Ultimate Juicy Burger with Creamy Sauce: A Burger Lover’s Dream

In a bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce (if using).
Gently mix and form the mixture into 4 equal patties. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to ensure even cooking.
Cook the Patties:

Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat.
Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer for your preferred doneness. If adding cheese, place a slice on top of the patty during the last minute of cooking and cover the skillet to melt the cheese.
Make the Creamy Sauce:

In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, relish, garlic powder, smoked paprika (if using), salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined.
Assemble the Burger:

Toast the burger buns lightly on the grill or in a skillet.
Spread a generous amount of creamy sauce on both the top and bottom buns.
Place the cooked patty on the bottom bun and top with lettuce, tomato, onion, and your favorite cheese.
Add the top bun and serve hot.
