1
Prepare the Beef Patties
In a bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently and form into 4 equal patties.
2
Cook the Patties
Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip them.
3
Add Cheese
After flipping, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the cheese is melted and the patty is cooked to your desired doneness.
4
Prepare the Buns
While the patties are cooking, slice the burger buns in half. Optionally, toast them on the grill or in a toaster.
5
Assemble the Cheeseburgers
On the bottom half of each bun, place a lettuce leaf, then the cooked beef patty with cheese, followed by slices of tomato. Add ketchup and mustard to taste, and top with the other half of the bun.
6
Serve
Serve the cheeseburgers warm with your favorite side dishes.
