1
Prepare the Beef
In a bowl, combine ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently and form into 4 equal patties.
2
Cook the Patties
Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes on one side, then flip them.
3
Add Cheese
After flipping, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until cheese is melted.

4
Prepare the Buns
Toast the sesame seed buns lightly on the grill for 1-2 minutes if desired.
5
Build the Burger
On the bottom half of each bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the cooked patty with cheese, a slice of tomato, and onion. Top with the other half of the bun.
