1
Mix the Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently with your hands until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
2
Form the Patty
Divide the meat mixture into two equal portions (about 0.25 lb each). Form each portion into a round patty about 3/4 inch thick, making a slight indentation in the center to prevent puffing during cooking.

3
Preheat the Grill or Pan
Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes until hot.
4
Cook the Patty
Place the burger patty onto the hot grill or skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on the first side until a crust forms. Flip the patty and cook for another 3-4 minutes for medium doneness. If adding cheese, place it on the patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.

5
Prepare the Bun and Toppings
While the burger is cooking, slice the burger bun in half and wash the lettuce leaf. Slice the tomato and onion.
6
Assemble the Burger
Once the burger is cooked to your liking, place it on the bottom half of the bun. Layer with lettuce, tomato slice, onion slices, and your choice of cheese. Top with the other half of the bun.
