Instructions
Step 1. Prepare the Patties:
- In a bowl, gently mix ground beef with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Divide into 4 equal portions and shape into patties. Make a small indentation in the center to prevent puffing.
Step 2. Cook the Patties:
- Heat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Cook patties for 3–4 minutes per side until nicely seared.
- Add cheese during the last minute and cover to melt.
Step 3. Toast the Buns:
- Lightly toast buns on the grill or in a pan until golden.
Step 4. Assemble the Hamburger:
- Layer the bottom bun with lettuce, burger patty, bacon, tomato, onion, and sauces. Top with the bun and serve hot.
