1
Prepare the Beef Patty
In a bowl, combine the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined, then form into two equal patties.
2
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
Add Cheese
In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cover the grill or skillet to melt the cheese.
4
Prepare the Buns
While the patties are cooking, toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.
5
Assemble the Cheeseburger
On the bottom half of each bun, layer lettuce, the cooked patty with melted cheese, and slices of tomato. Add ketchup and mustard as desired, then top with the other half of the bun.
6
Serve
Serve the cheeseburgers immediately while hot.
