A classic burger with fresh beef patty, lettuce, tomato, and cheese.

In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently with your hands until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the patties tender.

Mix the Ingredients

Divide the meat mixture into two equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about 3/4 inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent them from puffing up during cooking.

Form the Patties

Preheat your grill or a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes.

Preheat the Grill or Pan

Place the patties on the hot grill or skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes for medium doneness. Add cheddar cheese on top of each patty during the last minute of cooking to allow it to melt.

Cook the Patties

While the patties are cooking, slice the burger buns in half and toast them lightly on the grill or in a toaster, if desired.

Prepare the Buns

Wash the tomato and slice it into thin rounds.

Slice the Tomato

On the bottom half of each toasted bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the cooked beef patty with melted cheese, a slice of tomato, and your choice of ketchup and mustard. Top with the other half of the bun.
