In a mixing bowl, shape the ground beef into two equal patties. Season both sides with salt and pepper to taste.

Cook the Patties
In the same skillet used for the bacon, increase the heat to medium-high. Add the beef patties and cook for about 4 minutes on one side. Flip the patties and place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes for medium doneness.
