In a bowl, mix ground beef with buttermilk, flour, garlic powder, and onion powder. Form into 2 patties.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook patties for 4-5 minutes per side until browned and cooked to desired doneness.
In a separate pan, cook sliced onion in oil until caramelized. Set aside.
Toast hamburger buns. Spread mayonnaise and ketchup on the bottom half.
Place a patty on the bottom bun. Add cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato, and caramelized onion.
