Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently with your hands until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to keep the burgers tender.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a round patty about 3/4-inch thick. Use your thumb to make a slight indent in the center of each patty to prevent them from puffing up during grilling.
Once the grill is hot, place the patties on the grill grates. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on the first side.
Flip the burgers and place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty. Cook for another 4-5 minutes or until the internal temperature reads 160°F (71°C) for medium doneness.
Remove the patties from the grill and let them rest for about 3-4 minutes.
While the burgers are resting, lightly toast the burger buns on the grill, cut side down, for about 1-2 minutes then remove.
Assemble the burgers: spread ketchup and mustard on the bottom halves of the buns. Place a lettuce leaf, a burger patty with melted cheese, tomato slices, red onion slices, pickles, and the top half of the bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your soy-free classic grilled burger!
