1
Prepare the Beef Patty
In a mixing bowl, combine 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 them into patties that are about ¾ inch thick.

3
Cook the Patties
Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they reach your desired doneness.

4
Toast the Buns
In a separate skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Place the hamburger buns cut side down in the skillet and toast until golden brown.

5
Assemble the Burger
On the bottom half of each toasted bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the cooked beef patty, sliced tomato, and onion. Top with the other half of the bun.
