1
Mix the Ingredients
In a bowl, combine ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently to avoid overworking the meat.
2
Form the Patties
Divide the meat mixture into two equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about 1 inch thick.
3
Cook the Patties
Preheat a grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they reach your desired doneness.

4
Prepare the Bun
While the patties are cooking, slice the burger buns in half. You can toast them lightly if desired.
5
Slice the Tomato
Wash and slice the tomato into thin rounds.
6
Assemble the Burger
On the bottom half of each bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the cooked patty, a slice of tomato, and drizzle with special sauce. Top with the other half of the bun.
