1
Prepare the Beef Patties
In a bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently and form into two equal-sized patties.
2
Cook the Patties
Heat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. If using, add cheese on top of the patties during the last minute of cooking to melt.
3
Toast the Buns
While the patties are cooking, slice the burger buns and toast them on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.
4
Assemble the Burger
Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, add the cooked beef patty, followed by a slice of tomato. Top with the other half of the bun.
