1
Prepare the Beef Patty
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Form the mixture into two equal-sized patties.
2
Cook the Patties
Heat 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 doneness.
3
Add Cheese
In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cover to melt.
4
Prepare Toppings
While the patties are cooking, wash and slice the tomato. Prepare the lettuce by tearing it into bite-sized pieces.
5
Assemble the Burger
Place each cheese-topped patty on a burger bun. Add lettuce and tomato slices on top. Drizzle with house sauce if desired.
6
Serve
Close the burger with the top bun and serve immediately with your favorite sides.
