1
Mix Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
2
Shape Patties
Divide the meat mixture into two equal portions and shape them into patties, about ¾ inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to help them cook evenly.

3
Preheat Grill or Pan
Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat.
4
Cook Patties
Place the patties on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty to melt.

5
Prepare Toppings
While the patties are cooking, wash and dry the lettuce leaves. Slice the tomato and onion.
6
Assemble Burger
Once the patties are cooked, place each patty on the bottom half of a burger bun. Top with lettuce, tomato slices, onion slices, and the top half of the bun.
