   Prepare the Patties

   In a bowl, season the ground beef with salt and pepper. Form the beef into two equal-sized patties.

   Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.

   Add Cheese (Optional)

   If using, place a slice of cheese on each patty during the last minute of cooking, allowing it to melt.

   Prepare the Buns

   Toast the hamburger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

5. 5

   Assemble the Hamburger

   On the bottom half of each bun, layer lettuce, a cooked patty, tomato slice, pickles, ketchup, and mustard. Top with the other half of the bun.
