1
Prepare the Beef Patty
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently until just combined.
2
Shape the Patties
Divide the mixture into two equal portions. Shape each portion into a round patty about 1 inch thick.
3
Cook the Patties
Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.
4
Add Cheese
In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cover to melt the cheese.

5
Prepare the Buns
Slice the burger buns in half and toast them lightly on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.
6
Assemble the Burger
On the bottom half of each bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the cooked patty with melted cheese, a slice of tomato, and then drizzle the special sauce over the top.
7
Finish the Burger
Top with the other half of the bun and press down gently. Serve immediately.
