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

Form the Patties
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about ¾ inch thick. Use your thumb to make a small indent in the center of each patty to help them cook evenly.

Cook the Patties
Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip them and place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each patty. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the patties reach your desired doneness.
