Method
Prepare the Patties
- 1
Mix the Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently with your hands until evenly combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.

Form the Patties
Divide the mixture into four equal portions, about 4 ounces each. Shape each portion into a patty that is slightly larger than the burger bun, as they will shrink while cooking.
Broil the Burgers

Preheat the Broiler
Set your oven's broiler to high and allow it to preheat for about 5 minutes.

Broil the Patties
Place the patties on a broiler-safe pan and position them about 4-6 inches from the heat source. Broil for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and broil for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until desired doneness.
Assemble the Burgers

Prepare the Buns
While the burgers are broiling, slice the burger buns in half and toast them lightly under the broiler for about 1-2 minutes.

Add Toppings
Once the burgers are cooked to your liking, place each patty on the bottom half of a toasted bun. Top with lettuce, tomato slices, onion slices, and cheese slices if using. Add condiments to taste, then place the top half of the bun on each burger.
