Preheat the oven to the high broiler setting. Prepare your cooking pan that is oven safe with a light layer of non-stick spray. Alternatively, you can use a baking sheet with sides and spray with non-stick spray. Set aside.

In a small bowl, combine the salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Mix thoroughly.

If shaping your own meat, divide the meat into four equal portions and flatten into a disc that is approximately 4 inches wide and about a half inch thick. The patties will shrink as they cook.

Sprinkle the spice mix over all sides of your patties.

Place the seasoned patties in your prepared cooking dish.

Cook in the preheated oven for 3 minutes at a time and flipping the burger occasionally. Check for doneness during every check. Medium should take about 6-9 minutes and well-done should take about 12-15 minutes. Remember that the meat will continue to cook for a few more minutes after removing from the oven.

During the last 3-minute cook time, place your sliced cheese on each pattie, if desired, that way it melts onto the burger.

Serve immediately with the buns, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, etc.
