Start with two pounds of 100% grass-fed ground beef from Sprouts.

Add one tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce, one tablespoon of kosher salt, one tablespoon of yellow mustard, and three cloves of minced garlic to the beef in a bowl.

Mix the ingredients together without overworking the meat to avoid a gummy texture.

Form the beef into patties, about a quarter pound each, making sure to pat them down.

Heat a cast iron skillet until hot, then add the patties directly to sear them without adding oil.

Cook each side for about three minutes for medium-rare, or five minutes for well-done.

After flipping the patties, add sharp cheddar cheese on top and let it melt while cooking for another minute.

Prepare the special sauce by mixing two tablespoons of mayonnaise, one tablespoon of ketchup, one teaspoon of yellow mustard, one teaspoon of relish, and a dash of apple cider vinegar in a bowl.

Spread the special sauce on toasted burger buns, then add shredded lettuce, the cooked patty with melted cheese, two slices of tomato, and onion to assemble the classic burger.

For the mushroom truffle Brie burger, sauté three sliced cremini mushrooms in a hot cast iron skillet with one tablespoon of unsalted butter, two cloves of minced garlic, a bit of fresh thyme, and a drizzle of truffle oil for about two minutes, adding a pinch of salt.

Assemble the mushroom truffle Brie burger by spreading mayo on toasted buns, adding the patty, slices of Brie, and the sautéed mushrooms on top.

For the guacamole burger, mash one ripe avocado in a bowl and mix in two tablespoons of chopped onion, two tablespoons of chopped tomato, one tablespoon of cilantro, two cloves of minced garlic, a squeeze of lime juice, and a pinch of salt.

On a toasted bun, layer shredded lettuce, the hamburger patty with melted pepper jack cheese, tomatoes, onions, and a generous portion of the guacamole to assemble the guac attack burger.
