1
Form the Burger Patty
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently and form into two equal patties, each weighing 1/2 lb.
2
Cook the Patty
Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Place the patties on the grill or skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side. Flip the patty and cook for another 3-4 minutes for medium-rare or longer to achieve your desired doneness.

3
Prepare the Vegetables
While the patties are cooking, wash and dry the lettuce leaves. Slice the tomato and onion into rings.
4
Add Cheese
In the last minute of cooking the patty, place a slice of cheese on top of the patty to melt.

5
Toast the Buns
Optional: Toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster for a few minutes until golden brown.
6
Build the Burger
On the bottom half of each bun, layer the lettuce, followed by the cooked patty with melted cheese, tomato slices, onion rings, and pickles. Top with the other half of the bun.
