1
Mix the Beef
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the ingredients are evenly distributed.
2
Form Patties
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about ¾ inch thick.

3
Preheat Grill or Pan
Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat.
4
Cook Patties
Place the patties on the grill or skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium doneness. In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty to melt.

5
Slice the Vegetables
While the burgers are cooking, slice the tomato and onion into thin rings. Set aside.
6
Wash Lettuce
Rinse the lettuce leaves under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.

7
Toast the Buns (Optional)
If desired, toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.
8
Build the Burger
Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun. Place a lettuce leaf on top, followed by the cooked patty with melted cheese, tomato slices, and onion rings. Top with the other half of the bun.
