1
Mix the Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, combine 1 pound of ground beef with 1 tsp of salt, 0.5 tsp of black pepper, and 0.5 tsp of garlic powder. Mix gently until just combined.
2
Form the Patty
Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape each portion into a round patty, about ¾ inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing while cooking.

3
Preheat the Grill or Skillet
Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes.
4
Cook the Patties
Place the patties on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side, until browned, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes for medium doneness.
5
Add Cheese
In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cover to melt the cheese.

6
Prepare the Vegetables
While the patties are cooking, wash and slice the tomato and onion. Tear the lettuce leaves if necessary.
7
Toast the Buns
Lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.
8
Assemble the Burger
On the bottom half of each toasted bun, place the lettuce leaves, followed by the cooked beef patty with melted cheese. Top with tomato slices and onion rings, then cap with the top half of the bun.
