1
Prepare the Patties
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
2
Form the Patty
Shape the beef mixture into a round patty about ¾ inch thick, ensuring it is slightly larger than the burger bun as it will shrink while cooking.
3
Cook the Patty
Heat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the patty on the cooking surface. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side.
4
Add Cheese
Flip the patty and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. In the last minute of cooking, place the slice of cheddar cheese on top of the patty to melt.
5
Toast the Bun
While the patty is cooking, you can toast the burger bun on a separate pan or in a toaster until golden brown.
6
Assemble the Burger
Once the patty is cooked and the cheese is melted, place the patty on the bottom half of the toasted bun. Top with the other half of the bun.
