Method
Preparing the Patties
Mix the Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently until just combined.
Form the Patties
Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a burger patty, about 3/4 inch thick.
Chill the Patties
Place the formed patties on a plate and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help them hold their shape while cooking.
Cooking the Patties
Flip and Add Cheese
Flip the patties and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cover to melt.
Assembling the Burger
Prepare the Buns
Toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.
Add the Patties
Place each cooked patty on the bottom half of the toasted bun.
Add Toppings
Layer the lettuce, tomato (sliced), pickles, and onion (sliced) on top of the patties.
Add Condiments
Spread ketchup, mustard, and mayonnaise on the top half of the bun to taste.
Complete the Burger
Place the top half of the bun on the assembled toppings and serve immediately.
