Directions
- 1
In a large bowl, gently combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, chopped red onion, and Worcestershire sauce.
- 2
Add 4 drops of blue gel food coloring to the mix. Using clean hands, knead the mixture until the color is evenly distributed and the meat is uniformly blue, being careful not to overmix.
- 3
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and form them into patties, about 3/4-inch thick. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty to prevent bulging during cooking.

Preheat a grill or a large skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the cooking surface.
- 5
Place the patties on the hot grill or skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer to your desired doneness.

During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty, allowing it to melt slightly.

Toast the burger buns lightly on the grill or in a separate pan.

Assemble the burgers on the toasted buns with your desired toppings such as lettuce, tomato, and pickles.
