1
Prepare the Beef Patty
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined, then form into 2 equal patties.
2
Cook the Patties
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the beef patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness. Add cheese slices on top of the patties during the last minute of cooking to melt.
3
Prepare the Buns
Toast the burger buns lightly on a separate skillet or in a toaster.
4
Assemble the Cheeseburger
On the bottom half of each bun, layer the lettuce, followed by the cooked beef patty with melted cheese, and slices of tomato. Top with the other half of the bun.
5
Serve
Serve the cheeseburgers immediately with your choice of sides.
