here's how you do it:

1. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper.

2. Very gently turn and press the mixture with your hands, just enough to combine the ingredients. Do not overwork the meat - it will become tough.

3. Use a small ice-cream scoop (2 tablespoon size), to scoop out uniform balls and place them on a parchment lined cookie sheet.

4. Place the meat balls on a hot grill, press down gently with a spatula, to flatten into a patty and grill for 2-3 minutes on each side.

5. Take one dinner roll, a patty and whatever toppings and condiments happen to 'float your boat' and build the perfect mini hamburger.
