1
Prepare the Beef Mixture
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix thoroughly using your hands or a spoon until the spices are evenly distributed.
2
Form the Patties
Divide the beef mixture into four equal portions. Shape each portion into a patty, about ¾ inch thick, ensuring that the center is slightly thinner than the edges to promote even cooking.
3
Cook the Patties
Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the patties on the grill or skillet. Cook for approximately 4-5 minutes per side for medium doneness. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty to melt.
4
Toast the Buns
While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.
5
Assemble the Burgers
Once the patties are cooked and cheese is melted, place each patty on the bottom half of a toasted bun. Top with desired condiments and the top half of the bun. Serve immediately.
