1
Mix the Patty Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently until just combined.
2
Form the Patties
Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape each into a patty about ¾ inch thick.
3
Cook the Patties
Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.

4
Prepare the Vegetables
Wash the lettuce leaves and pat dry. Slice the tomato and onion into thin rings.
5
Melt the Cheese
During the last minute of cooking the patties, place a slice of cheese on each patty and cover to melt.

6
Toast the Buns (Optional)
If desired, lightly toast the hamburger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden.
7
Build Your Burger
On the bottom half of each bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the cheeseburger patty, tomato slices, and onion rings. Top with the other half of the bun.
