1
Prepare the Ingredients
Wash and slice the tomato and red onion. Tear the lettuce into pieces, if necessary.
2
Shape the Patties
In a bowl, mix the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties.
3
Cook the Patties
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
4
Add the Cheese
In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of VT cheddar cheese on each patty and cover the pan to melt the cheese.
5
Assemble the Burgers
Toast the burger buns if desired. Place the lettuce, cooked patty with melted cheese, sliced tomato, and red onion on the bottom half of each bun. Top with the other half of the bun.
6
Serve
Serve immediately with your choice of sides.
