    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently with your hands until just combined.

    Add Cheese

    After flipping, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the cheese is melted and the patties are cooked to your desired doneness.
