1
Prepare the Beef Patty
In a bowl, combine the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Mix gently to combine, then form into two 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
Prepare the Vegetables
While the patties are cooking, slice the tomato and onion. Rinse the lettuce leaves.
4
Assemble the Burger
Place the cooked beef patty on the bottom half of the burger bun. Top with lettuce, tomato slices, and onion slices. Add ketchup and mustard to taste. Top with the other half of the bun.
5
Serve
Serve the classic burger immediately with your favorite side.
