1
Prepare the Beef Patty
In a bowl, mix the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Form into two equal patties.
2
Cook the Patties
Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness.
3
Add Cheese
During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cover to melt.
4
Toast the Buns
While the cheese is melting, lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or skillet until golden brown.
5
Assemble the Burger
On the bottom half of each bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the patty with melted cheese, a slice of tomato, and a generous amount of special sauce. Top with the other half of the bun.
