Method
Prepare the Burger Patty
- 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently using your hands until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the patty tender.
- 2
Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into burger patties, about ¾ inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent them from puffing up during cooking.
Cook the Burger

Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side for medium doneness. Add a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each patty during the last minute of cooking, allowing it to melt.
Assemble the Burger
- 5
Toast the burger buns lightly on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.
- 6
On the bottom half of each bun, place a leaf of romaine lettuce, followed by the cooked burger patty with melted cheese.
