Method
Burger Preparation
Prepare the Beef Patties
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined. Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, making a slight indentation in the center of each patty to ensure even cooking.
Cook the Patties
Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the beef patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side until browned. Flip the patties and place a slice of American cheese on each patty. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the cheese is melted and the patties reach your desired doneness.
Assemble the Burger
On the bottom half of each toasted bun, layer the lettuce leaves, followed by the cooked beef patty with melted cheese. Add a slice of tomato on top, and then spread mustard sauce to taste. Cover with the top half of the bun.
Serve
Serve the burgers immediately with your choice of sides, such as fries or a salad.
