1
Prepare the Burger Patty
In a mixing bowl, season the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Form the beef into a patty, about 1/2 inch thick.
2
Cook the Patty
Heat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat and add a little cooking oil. Cook the patty for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness.
3
Prepare the Bun
While the patty is cooking, slice the burger bun in half and toast it lightly if desired.
4
Assemble the Burger
On the bottom half of the bun, place the cooked burger patty. Add lettuce and tomato slices. If adding cheese, place it on the patty to melt slightly before adding the toppings.
5
Finish and Serve
Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately.
