   Prepare the Beef Patties

   In a large bowl, combine the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Form into 4 equal-sized patties.

   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 level of doneness.

3. 3

   Add Cheese

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

4. 4

   Toast the Buns

   While the burgers are cooking, toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

5. 5

   Assemble the Burgers

   On the bottom half of each bun, place a lettuce leaf, then the cooked patty with melted cheese. Top with tomato slices, pickles, ketchup, and mustard to taste. Cover with the top half of the bun.

6. 6

   Serve

   Serve the burgers hot with additional condiments and sides as desired.
