Burger Preparation
Prepare the Patties
In a bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined to avoid overworking the meat.
Form Patties
Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into patties, about 1 inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing during cooking.
Add Cheese
During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cover to melt the cheese.
Assemble the Burger
Serve with Sides
Choose Your Side
Select one of the available sides: French fries, coleslaw, or onion rings, and serve alongside the cheeseburger.
