1
Prepare the Patty
In a bowl, mix the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Form the mixture into two equal patties.
2
Cook the Patties
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.
3
Add Cheese
In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cover the skillet to melt the cheese.
4
Toast the Buns
While the cheese melts, toast the burger buns in another skillet or in a toaster until golden brown.
5
Assemble the Cheeseburger
Place the cooked patties on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Top with lettuce and slices of tomato, then cover with the top half of the bun.
