1
Mix Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently with your hands until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
2
Form Patties
Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about ¾ inch thick.

3
Preheat Grill or Pan
Preheat your grill or frying pan over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes.
4
Cook Patties
Place the patties on the grill or pan and cook for approximately 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness. For medium, the internal temperature should be around 160°F (71°C).

5
Prepare Tomato
While the patties are cooking, slice the tomato into thin rounds.
6
Assemble Burger
Once the patties are cooked, place each patty on the bottom half of a burger bun. Top with a lettuce leaf, a slice of tomato, and a generous drizzle of special sauce. Place the top half of the bun over the sauce.
7
Serve
Serve the burgers immediately with your choice of sides.
