1 ½ pounds ground beef, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon kosher salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper
Wrap each patty in a piece of foil, ensuring that they are completely sealed.
Add one cup of water to the inner pot of a 6-quart Instant Pot. Place a trivet in the pot and stack patties on top.
Close and secure the lid and pressure valve. Cook on Manual High Pressure for 12 minutes, then do a quick pressure release.
Carefully remove the lid of the pot, then transfer the patties out using a pair of tongs.
Open foil packs, transfer to buns, and top with cheese and your desired toppings.

Notes

Don't overwork the burger mixture. The ingredients should be just combined. Overworking can lead to tough and chewy burgers.
Be sure to wrap the burgers well in the foil. This will keep the steam in so that they cook through.
Thicker burgers may need a couple of extra minutes to cook through, and thinner burgers will require slightly less cooking time.
