Gather all ingredients and mince the garlic.

In a large bowl, combine ground beef, minced garlic, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix well using your hands.

Shape the mixture into six equal patties, making them slightly thicker in the center.

Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook patties for about 5 minutes on each side until browned; add cheese during the last minute to melt.

Assemble each burger by layering lettuce, tomato slices, and a patty on your favorite bun. Add any additional toppings as desired.

Serve immediately with fries or salad.
