1
Mix the Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently with your hands until everything is evenly incorporated.
2
Form the Patties
Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 3/4 inch thick.

3
Heat the Grill or Pan
Preheat your grill or stovetop pan over medium-high heat.
4
Cook the Patties
Place the patties on the grill or pan. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.

5
Wash the Lettuce
Rinse the lettuce leaves under cold water and pat dry with a paper towel.
6
Slice the Tomato
Wash the tomato and slice it into medium-thick slices.
7
Prepare the Pickles
If using whole pickles, slice them into rounds.

8
Toast the Buns
Place the burger buns cut side down on the grill or pan for about 1-2 minutes until they are golden brown.

9
Build the Burger
Start with the bottom half of the toasted bun. Place a patty on top, followed by lettuce, tomato slices, and pickles. Finish with the top half of the bun.
