1
Prepare the Patty
In a bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix until evenly combined.
2
Form the Patty
Shape the mixture into a small patty, about 1/4 inch thick.
3
Cook the Patty
Preheat a skillet or grill over medium heat. Cook the patty for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
4
Add Cheese (optional)
If using cheese, place a slice on top of the patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.
5
Toast the Bun
While the patty is cooking, toast the hamburger bun on a separate skillet or in a toaster.
6
Assemble the Burger
Place the cooked patty on the bottom half of the toasted bun. Add ketchup, mustard, lettuce, and tomato. Top with the other half of the bun.
