1
Mix the Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
2
Form the Patties
Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into round patties, about 3/4 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 for medium doneness. Add a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.

4
Prepare the Lettuce
Wash and dry the lettuce leaf. Set aside.
5
Slice the Tomato
Wash the tomato and slice it into 1/4 inch thick slices.
6
Prepare the Special Sauce
If not already prepared, mix equal parts of mayonnaise and ketchup with a dash of mustard to create a simple special sauce.

7
Toast the Buns
Lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.
8
Build the Burger
On the bottom half of each bun, place a cooked patty with melted cheese. Top with a lettuce leaf, a slice of tomato, and drizzle with the special sauce. Place the top half of the bun on the burger.
