In a bowl, mix the ground beef with salt, garlic powder, and pepper.
Divide the mixture into four equal parts and form each into a patty about 3/4 inch thick.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Place the patties in the skillet and cook for about 3-5 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F.
Serve the patties on buns with your choice of toppings.
