In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 pound of ground beef with 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon onion powder. Mix the ingredients gently with your hands until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
Divide the seasoned hamburger meat into four equal parts and shape each into a round patty approximately 3/4 inch thick. Use your thumb to make a small indentation in the center of each patty to prevent it from puffing up while cooking.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, place the patties in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on the first side until well browned.
Flip the patties and add a slice of cheese to the top of each. Continue to cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the burgers have reached your desired doneness (145°F for medium rare, 160°F for medium).
While the burgers are cooking, slice the tomato into thin rounds and prepare the buns by spreading each side with mayonnaise.
Toast the buns in the skillet, cut side down, until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.
Assemble the burgers by placing each patty on the bottom half of a toasted bun. Top with lettuce, tomato slices, pickles, ketchup, and mustard. Cover with the top half of the bun.
Serve immediately with your choice of sides.
