1
Prepare the Patties
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Form the mixture into four equal-sized patties.
2
Cook the Patties
Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium doneness, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
3
Toast the Buns
During the last minute of cooking, place the burger buns cut-side down on the grill or skillet to toast them lightly.
4
Assemble the Burger
Place a cooked patty on the bottom half of each bun. Top with lettuce, tomato slices, onion rings, and a slice of cheese. Close the burger with the top half of the bun.
5
Serve
Serve the burgers immediately with your choice of sides.
