  3. In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef with Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper; form into 4 patties.
  4. Preheat grill or skillet to medium-high heat; cook patties for 3-4 minutes per side or until desired doneness. Top with cheddar cheese for the last minute.
  5. Whisk sour cream, Dijon mustard, and salt to create the sauce.
