1
Prepare the beef mixture
In a mixing bowl, combine 1 pound of ground beef with 1 tsp salt, 0.5 tsp black pepper, 0.5 tsp garlic powder, and 0.5 tsp onion powder. Mix gently to combine without overworking the meat.
2
Form the patties
Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 3/4 inch thick. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty to prevent them from puffing up while cooking.

3
Preheat the grill or skillet
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or heat a skillet over medium-high heat on the stove.
4
Cook the patties
Place the patties on the grill or skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until they reach your desired doneness (160°F for medium).

5
Prepare the toppings
While the patties are cooking, wash and prepare the toppings. Tear 2 lettuce leaves, slice 1 medium tomato, and slice 0.5 medium onion into rings.
6
Assemble the burger
Once the patties are cooked, place each patty on a burger bun. Top with lettuce, tomato slices, and onion rings. Add any additional condiments if desired, then place the top bun on.
