1
Prepare the Patty
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently to combine without overworking the meat.
2
Shape the Burger
Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into patties, making them slightly larger than the burger buns.
3
Cook the Patties
Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and place a slice of cheese on each patty. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the cheese is melted and the patties are cooked to your desired doneness.
4
Prepare the Buns
While the patties are cooking, you can toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.
5
Assemble the Burger
Place the cooked patty on the bottom half of the toasted bun. Top with lettuce, sliced tomato, ketchup, and mustard. Place the top half of the bun on the burger.
6
Serve
Serve the cheeseburgers immediately with your choice of side dishes.
