1
Prepare the Beef Patty
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Mix gently to combine, being careful not to overwork the meat.
2
Form the Patty
Divide the beef mixture into two equal portions and shape them into patties, about 3/4 inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent it from puffing up while cooking.
3
Cook the Patty
Preheat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the patties to the pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium doneness. If using cheese, place a slice on each patty during the last minute of cooking and cover to melt.

4
Toast the English Muffins
While the patties are cooking, split the English muffins in half and toast them until golden brown.
5
Build the Burger
On the bottom half of each toasted English muffin, place a cooked beef patty. Add optional lettuce, tomato, and your choice of condiments like ketchup and mustard.
6
Finish Assembly
Place the top half of the English muffin on each burger. Serve immediately with your favorite sides.
