1
Mix the Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix until just combined; avoid overworking the meat.
2
Form the Patties
Divide the meat mixture into two equal portions and shape them into patties, making them slightly larger than the burger buns.

3
Heat the Grill or Pan
Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat.
4
Cook the Patties
Place the patties on the grill or skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side. Flip the patties and add cheese slices on top. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the beef reaches your desired doneness.

5
Slice the Vegetables
Wash and slice the tomato and onion. Tear the lettuce into smaller pieces if necessary.

6
Toast the Buns
Lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.
7
Build Your Burger
On the bottom half of each bun, layer the lettuce, followed by the cooked patty with melted cheese, tomato slices, and onion slices. Top with the other half of the bun.

Enjoy Your Cheeseburger
Serve immediately while hot, and enjoy your delicious cheeseburger with your favorite sides!
