Instructions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt.
2. Crack the egg into the mixture and blend thoroughly with clean hands until all ingredients are evenly mixed.
1. Divide the beef mixture into six equal portions.
2. Shape each portion into a patty about ¾ inch thick, ensuring they are slightly larger than the hamburger buns as they will shrink during cooking.
1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
2. Place the beef patties in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. If using a grill, preheat it to medium-high heat and follow the same cooking time.
3. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty, allowing it to melt.
1. While the patties are cooking, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in another skillet over medium heat.
2. Split the hamburger buns and place them cut-side down in the skillet. Toast until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Alternatively, you can toast the buns on the grill with the cut side facing down.
1. Place each cheese-topped patty on the bottom half of the toasted buns.
2. Add any additional toppings of your choice, such as lettuce, tomato, pickles, or sauce.
3. Cover with the top half of the buns.
1. Serve your beef burgers hot with your favorite side dishes, such as fries, coleslaw, or a fresh garden salad.
