1
Prepare the Beef Patty
In a bowl, mix the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Form the mixture into two equal-sized patties.
2
Cook the Patties
Preheat 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 level of doneness.
3
Add Cheese
In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cover to melt the cheese.
4
Prepare the Buns
While the patties are cooking, toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.
5
Assemble the Burger
On the bottom half of each toasted bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the cheeseburger patty, sliced tomato, ketchup, and mustard. Top with the other half of the bun.
