1
Prepare the Beef Patties
In a bowl, combine the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Mix well and form into two equal patties.
2
Cook the Patties
Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the beef patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
3
Add Cheese
During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cover to let the cheese melt.
4
Assemble the Burgers
Toast the burger buns on the grill or skillet. Place a cheeseburger patty on each bun, top with pickles and ketchup. Close the burger with the other half of the bun.
5
Serve
Serve the burgers hot with your favorite sides.
