Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Form the Patty

    In a large bowl, take the ground beef and form it into a patty, about 1/2 inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center to prevent it from puffing up while cooking.

  2. 2

    Season the Patty

    Season the patty generously with salt and pepper on both sides.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Cook the Burger

    Preheat a grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the burger for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes for medium doneness. If adding cheese, place it on the patty during the last minute of cooking.

Assemble

  1. 4

    Build the Burger

    Toast the burger bun if desired. Place the cooked patty on the bottom bun. Layer on the lettuce, tomato, red onion, and dill pickles. Add any condiments you like and top with the other half of the bun.
