   Prepare the Patty

   In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Form into two equal-sized patties.

   During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheese on each patty to melt.

4. 4

   Prepare the Buns

   Toast the burger buns lightly on the grill or in a toaster.

5. 5

   Assemble the Burger

   On the bottom half of each bun, layer lettuce, the cooked patty with melted cheese, tomato slices, onion slices, ketchup, and mustard. Top with the other half of the bun.
