Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef Patties

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with salt and pepper. Mix gently until well combined. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

    Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.

  3. 3

    Add Cheese

    During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cover to let it melt.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Buns

    Toast the hamburger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burger

    Spread ketchup and mustard on the bottom half of each bun. Place the cooked patty with melted cheese on top, followed by lettuce, tomato (sliced), and pickles. Top with the other half of the bun.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the hamburgers with additional ketchup or mustard on the side if desired.
