Add Cheese
After flipping, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the patties are cooked to your desired doneness.

Toast Buns (optional)
If desired, toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster.
Build the Burger
On the bottom half of each bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the burger patty with melted cheese, tomato slice, pickles, and condiments. Top with the other half of the bun.
