Classic Cheeseburger

1In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef (1 pound), garlic powder (½ teaspoon), onion powder (½ teaspoon), salt, and pepper. Mix well and form into 4 equal-sized patties.

2Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the beef patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked to your desired level of doneness.

3Place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.

4Toast the hamburger buns (4) on the grill or in a toaster.

5Assemble the cheeseburgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a beef patty with melted cheese, tomato slices, onion slices, pickles, ketchup, mustard, and the top bun.

6Serve the cheeseburgers hot and enjoy!
