Method
Prepare the Burger Patty
Mix the Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently until just combined.
Shape the Patties
Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into patties, about ¾ inch thick, making a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing.
Cook the Burger Patties
Add Cheese
In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of American cheese on each patty and cover to melt.
Assemble the Burger
Prepare the Buns
While the cheese is melting, slice the burger buns in half and toast them lightly on the grill or in a toaster.
Complete the Burger
Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately with your choice of side.
