1
Mix Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently with your hands until just combined.
2
Form Patties
Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about 3/4 inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to help them cook evenly.

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

5
Prepare Vegetables
While the patties are cooking, wash the lettuce and slice the tomato and onion into thin rounds.
6
Toast Buns
In the last minute of cooking the patties, split the burger buns and place them cut-side down on the grill or pan to toast lightly.
7
Assemble Burger
Once the patties are cooked, place each patty on the bottom half of a toasted bun. Top with lettuce, tomato slices, and onion. Cover with the top half of the bun.
