Place the ground beef in a large mixing bowl.

Sprinkle evenly with garlic powder and seasoned salt.

Add a generous amount of Chipotle Tabasco Sauce; Jesse Kelly recommends using about half a bottle per pound of meat, noting that the heat diminishes during cooking, leaving a rich flavor.

Gently mix the ingredients until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat to maintain tenderness.

Divide the seasoned meat into four equal portions.

Shape each portion into a thin patty, slightly larger than the bun to account for shrinkage during cooking.

Heat a flat-top griddle or skillet over medium-high heat.

Once hot, place the patties on the cooking surface.

As soon as the patties begin to sizzle, flip them immediately.

Place a slice of American cheese on each patty right after flipping to allow it to melt as the burger finishes cooking.

Continue cooking until the patties are cooked through, approximately 2-3 minutes per side, depending on thickness.

While the patties are cooking, spread a thin layer of butter on the insides of the hamburger buns.

Toast the buns on the griddle or in a separate skillet until they are lightly browned and crisp.

Place each cooked patty with melted cheese onto the bottom half of a toasted bun.

According to Jesse Kelly, additional condiments or toppings are unnecessary, as the burger's flavor stands on its own. However, feel free to customize with your preferred toppings if desired.

Cover with the top half of the bun.

Serve the burgers immediately while hot.

Pair with your favorite sides such as fries, coleslaw, or a simple salad.
