In a mixing bowl, combine the lean ground beef, onion powder, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce.
Form 4 equal-sized patties.
Cook the patties on a grill pan or griddle over medium high heat, a couple of minutes per side or until cooked to your liking (do not overcook, as this makes the beef dry).
Turn the heat off the pan, and add 1 oz of cheese to each patty and cover the pan with foil or the pot lid for the cheese to melt.
Combine the herb mayo sauce ingredients together to form the spread.
Toast the English muffins. Spread a heaping tablespoon of the herb mayo spread on each English muffin.
Top each English muffin with the cooked burger and cheese, a slice of red onion, mixed greens, and 1/2 ounce of avocado (or more to taste).
