    Prepare the Burger Patties

    In a mixing bowl, season the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Divide the meat into two equal portions and shape them into burger patties.

    Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the burger patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they reach your desired level of doneness.

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the patties are cooking, slice the tomato and red onion. Rinse the lettuce and pickles.

    Assemble the Burger

    Spread Duke's® mayo on the bottom half of the burger bun. Place the cooked patty on top, followed by lettuce, tomato slices, red onion rings, and pickles. Top with the other half of the bun.
