1
Mix Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Use your hands to mix gently until just combined.
2
Form Patties
Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into patties, about ¾ inch thick. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty to prevent it from puffing up while cooking.

3
Preheat Grill or Pan
Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes.
4
Cook Patties
Place the patties on the hot 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 your preferred doneness.

5
Prepare Veggies
While the patties are cooking, wash and dry the lettuce leaves. Slice the tomato into thin rounds.
6
Assemble the Burger
Once the patties are cooked to your liking, remove them from the grill or skillet. On each burger bun, spread 1 tablespoon of the special sauce, then add a lettuce leaf, a slice of tomato, and the beef patty. Top with the other half of the bun.
