Method
Prepare the Burger Patty
Mix the Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently until just combined to avoid overworking the meat.
Form the Patties
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about ¾ inch thick.
Cook the Burgers
Grill the Patties
Place the patties on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip.
Add Cheese
After flipping, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the burger is cooked to your desired doneness.
Assemble the Burger
Prepare the Buns
While the patties are cooking, 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.
