1
Mixing Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, combine 1 pound of ground beef, 1 tsp salt, 0.5 tsp black pepper, and 0.5 tsp garlic powder. Mix until well combined.
2
Forming the Patty
Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 3/4 inch thick.

3
Grilling
Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Place the patties on the grill and cook for 4–5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.
4
Adding Cheese
In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cover to melt the cheese.

5
Lettuce and Tomato
While the patties are cooking, rinse the lettuce leaf and pat dry. Slice the tomato into thick rounds.

6
Building the Burger
Toast the burger buns lightly if desired. On the bottom half of each bun, spread 1 tbs of special sauce. Place the cooked patty with melted cheese on top, followed by the lettuce leaf and a slice of tomato. Top with the other half of the bun.
