Method
Preparing the Patties
Mix the Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently until just combined. Do not overwork the meat.
Form the Patties
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties, about 3/4 inch thick. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty to prevent them from puffing up while cooking.
Cooking the Patties
Cook the Patties
Place the patties on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side. Flip the patties and immediately place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each patty. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the patties reach your desired doneness.
Assembling the Burgers
Prepare the Buns
While the patties are cooking, cut the burger buns in half and toast them on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.
