1
Prepare the Patties
In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Divide into two equal portions and shape into patties.
2
Cook the Patties
Heat cooking oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the patties in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness.
3
Add Cheese
In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of American cheese on each patty and cover to melt.
4
Prepare the Buns
While the cheese melts, slice the burger buns in half and toast them lightly in a separate pan if desired.
5
Assemble the Burger
On the bottom half of each bun, layer lettuce, followed by the cheesy patty and slices of tomato. Top with the other half of the bun.
6
Serve
Serve immediately with your choice of condiments.
