1
Form the Patties
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently until just combined. Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into patties.
2
Preheat the Grill or Skillet
Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat.
3
Cook the Patties
Place the patties on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes for medium doneness. Adjust cooking time based on desired doneness.

4
Prepare the Tomato
Slice the tomato into thick slices.
5
Toast the Buns (Optional)
If desired, toast the hamburger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.
6
Layer the Ingredients
On the bottom half of each bun, place 2 lettuce leaves, followed by a cooked patty, a slice of tomato, and your desired amount of ketchup and mustard.
7
Finish the Burger
Top with the other half of the bun. Serve immediately.
