Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

In a large bowl, combine the ground beef with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.

Form the beef mixture into four equal patties, making a slight indent in the center.

Place the patties on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes on one side.

Flip the burgers gently and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, adding cheese if desired.

Remove the burgers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.

Toast the burger buns on the grill until golden brown, if desired.

Assemble your burgers with condiments and desired toppings.
