1
Mix the Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
2
Form the Patties
Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 3/4 inch thick.

3
Preheat the Grill or Pan
Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat.
4
Cook the Patties
Place the patties on the grill or skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side. Flip the patties and place a slice of cheese on each. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the patties are cooked to your desired doneness.

5
Prepare the Buns
Toast the hamburger buns lightly on the grill or in a toaster.
6
Layer the Ingredients
On the bottom half of each bun, place a leaf of lettuce, followed by the cooked patty with melted cheese, sliced tomato, ketchup, and mustard. Top with the other half of the bun.
