1
Prepare the Patties
In a bowl, combine ground beef with salt and black pepper. Mix until just combined 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 the desired doneness.
3
Add Cheese
In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cover to melt the cheese.
4
Prepare the Buns
While the patties are cooking, toast the burger buns lightly on the grill or in a toaster.
5
Assemble the Burger
On the bottom half of each bun, layer lettuce, the cooked patty with melted cheese, and slices of tomato. Add ketchup and mustard to taste, then top with the other half of the bun.
6
Serve
Serve immediately while hot with your favorite sides.
