1
Mix Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
2
Form Patties
Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about 3/4 inch thick.

3
Preheat Grill or Pan
Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat.
4
Cook Patties
Place patties on the grill or skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on one side. Flip and place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the patty reaches desired doneness.

5
Prepare the Bun
Lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster.
6
Build the Burger
Spread the burger sauce on the bottom half of each bun. Place a lettuce leaf on top, followed by the cooked patty with melted cheddar cheese. Add slices of tomato and onion, then top with the other half of the bun.
