1
Mix the Ingredients
In a bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently until just combined.
2
Form the Patties
Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about ¾ inch thick.

3
Heat the Grill or Pan
Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat.
4
Cook the Patties
Place the patties on the grill or skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side.
5
Add Cheese
Flip the patties and place a slice of cheese on top of each one. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).

6
Toast the Buns
Spread butter on the cut sides of each burger bun. Toast them on the grill or in a skillet until golden brown.

7
Layer the Ingredients
On the bottom half of each toasted bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the cooked patty with melted cheese, a slice of tomato, and then top with the other half of the bun.
