1
Prepare the beef patties
In a bowl, mix the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Form the mixture into two equal-sized patties.
2
Cook the patties
Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they reach your desired doneness.
3
Toast the buns
While the patties are cooking, slice the burger buns in half and toast them on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.
4
Assemble the burger
On the bottom half of each toasted bun, place a lettuce leaf, a cooked beef patty, pickles, and slices of heirloom tomato. If desired, add cheese on top of the hot patty to melt slightly.
5
Serve
Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately with your favorite side of fries.
