Method
Preparing the Burger Patty
- 1
Forming the Patties
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until combined. Divide the mixture into two equal portions and form each portion into a patty about 3/4-inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing during cooking.

Assembly
Place one cooked burger patty on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Top with lettuce, a slice of tomato, pickles, and red onion. Add the top half of the bun to complete the burger.
