1
Prepare the Meat Mixture
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently with your hands until just combined; do not overwork the meat.
2
Form Patties
Divide the meat mixture into two equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about ¾ inch thick.
3
Cook the Patties
Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Place the patties on the grill or skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.

4
Toast the Buns (optional)
If desired, lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.
5
Assemble the Burger
Place each cooked patty on the bottom half of a bun. Add optional toppings such as lettuce, tomato slices, onion slices, and cheese (if using).
6
Finish the Burger
Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately.
