Instructions
Turn skillet on to 350 degrees.
Mix together ground beef, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Coat the electric skillet with the butter. (Approximately 3 Tablespoons.)
Patty out the burgers and place in the skillet covered, cooking for a couple of minutes until the tops of the burgers turn tan and the bottoms are a gorgeous brown.
Flip the burgers and cook for a couple of minutes, or until the juices forming out the top run clear and are no longer pink/red.
DO NOT mash down the burgers while cooking. This will release the juices that you want to stay in.
Turn skillet down to a simmer, and place a slice of cheese on each burger.
Remove cheeseburgers from skillet and place on a dish close to one another to trap in heat.
Dump the grease out of the skillet into a heatproof bowl.
Increase the heat to 300, and coat the skillet with butter.
Place each bun half on the skillet and toast the buns for about 30 seconds.
Once the buns are toasted, you're ready to assemble the cheeseburgers!

Notes
For an extra delicious burger, wrap each burger (after assembled with the bun) in aluminum foil to allow the bun/burger to steam, like we do with the burgers in the oven that have gone viral!
