Method
Preparing the Burger Patty

Mix the Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until the ingredients are evenly distributed. Be careful not to overmix to keep the patties tender.

Form the Patties
Divide the meat mixture into two equal portions, shaping each into a half-pound patty. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent them from puffing up while cooking.
Cooking the Burger

Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat. Ensure it's hot enough to create a good sear on the patties.

Cook the Patties
Place the burger patties on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip them over. Top each patty with a slice of pepper jack cheese and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the cheese is melted and the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
