   In a large bowl, combine the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Mix gently and form into 4 equal-sized patties.

   Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness, or until desired doneness is reached.

   Melt the Cheese

   In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty to melt.

   On the bottom half of each bun, layer lettuce, a cooked patty with melted cheese, a slice of tomato, onion rings, pickles, ketchup, and mustard. Top with the other half of the bun.
