1
Prepare the Beef Patties
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently and form into two equal-sized 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, 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
Spread ketchup, mayonnaise, and mustard on the bottom half of the toasted bun. Place a lettuce leaf on top, then add the cooked patty, sliced tomato, and finally the top half of the bun.
