Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

In a bowl, combine ground beef with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

Form the mixture into patties, making a small indentation in the center of each.

Brush the grill grates with olive oil to prevent sticking.

Place the patties on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes on one side until browned.

Flip the patties and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes for medium doneness.

Add cheddar cheese on top of each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.

Toast the burger buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes until golden.

Assemble the burgers by placing the patty on the bun, followed by lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickles.

Drizzle barbecue sauce, mustard, and ketchup as desired.

Serve immediately with your favorite sides.
