1
Prepare the 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
Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the 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 top of each patty. Cover to melt the cheese.
4
Prepare the Buns
While the patties are cooking, slice the burger buns in half and toast them lightly on the grill or in a toaster.
5
Assemble the Burger
Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, add the cooked patty with melted cheese, and top with slices of tomato. Add ketchup and mustard to taste before placing the top half of the bun.
6
Serve
Serve the cheeseburgers hot with your favorite side dishes.
