1
Prepare the Ground Beef
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Use your hands to gently mix the ingredients until just combined.
2
Form the Patties
Divide the beef mixture into two equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 3/4 inch thick, making a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing during cooking.

3
Preheat the Grill or Skillet
Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes until hot.
4
Cook the Patties
Place the patties on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) for medium.

5
Prepare the Burger Buns
Toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.
6
Assemble the Burger
On the bottom half of each toasted bun, layer a leaf of lettuce, followed by a slice of tomato, the cooked beef patty, a slice of onion, and pickles. Top with the other half of the bun.
