Instructions
- Place the ground beef in a bowl. Add the onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Gently mix the ingredients until just combined.

- Divide the meat mixture into 6 equal portions. Shape each portion into a burger patty of uniform size and thickness.
- Preheat your grill, grill pan, or heavy skillet over high heat.
- Place the burger patties on the hot surface and cook until browned on the bottom. Then, flip them over to cook the other side.
- Top each burger patty with two slices of cheese. Let it cook until the cheese is melted and the burgers are cooked to your desired doneness.
- Remove the burgers from the heat and let them rest for a few minutes.
- Toast the burger buns. Then, spread with mayonnaise, ketchup, or Thousand Island dressing. Layer with lettuce, the burger patty with melted cheese, onion, tomato, and pickles.
- Serve the All-American cheeseburgers hot.
