1
Mix the Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently with your hands until just combined.
2
Form the Patties
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about ¾ inch thick.
3
Cook the Patties
Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip them. Place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the cheese melts and the patty reaches your desired doneness.

4
Prepare the Vegetables
Slice the tomato and onion into thin rounds.
5
Toast the Buns
Optional: Toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.
6
Build the Burger
Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun. Top with a lettuce leaf, a cooked patty with melted cheese, a slice of tomato, and a few slices of onion. Finally, place the top half of the bun on each burger.
