1. 1

   Prepare the Beef Patty

   In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Mix gently until evenly seasoned.

   Preheat the Grill or Pan

   Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes.

   Cook the Patty

   Place the beef patty on the grill or in the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side, then flip it.

   Add Cheese

   After flipping the patty, place the slice of cheddar cheese on top and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the patty reaches your desired doneness.

   While the patty is cooking, toast the burger bun on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

   Assemble the Burger

   On the bottom half of the toasted bun, layer the lettuce, followed by the cooked beef patty with melted cheese, tomato slices, onion slices, ketchup, and mustard. Top it off with the other half of the bun.
