Instructions
Preparation Steps
In a large bowl, gently mix the ground beef with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Avoid overworking the meat for tender burgers.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing up while cooking.
Preheat your grill over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.
During the last few minutes of cooking, top each patty with cheddar cheese and close the grill lid to melt the cheese.
Toast the hamburger buns on the grill until golden brown, then assemble the burgers with your favorite toppings and enjoy!
Notes
Feel free to customize the toppings to your liking—avocado, pickles, and onion all make great additions!
