Crafting perfectly delicious Irish Pub Burgers is straightforward with these easy steps:

1. Prepare the Patties: In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, shredded Irish cheddar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix just until combined; avoid over-mixing to keep the patties tender.
2. Form Patties: Divide the mixture into four equal portions, then shape each portion into a burger patty about ¾ inch thick.
3. Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill or stovetop pan to medium-high heat.
4. Cook the Patties: Place the patties on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side. Flip and continue cooking for an additional 4-5 minutes or until they reach your desired doneness.
5. Melt the Cheese: During the last minute of cooking, add extra cheddar cheese on top of each patty. Close the grill lid to allow the cheese to melt.
6. Toast the Buns: Lightly butter the hamburger buns and toast them on the grill until golden brown.
7. Assemble the Burgers: Spread mayonnaise and mustard on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Place the lettuce and burger patty on top. Add tomato slices, pickles, and any optional toppings you desire.
8. Top It Off: Finish with the top half of the bun, and your mouth-watering Irish Pub Burger is ready to serve!
