1
Prepare the Patties
In a bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and pepper. Form into two equal patties.
2
Cook the Patties
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the patties and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
3
Add Cheese
In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cover the skillet to melt the cheese.
4
Prepare the Toppings
While the patties are cooking, slice the tomato and onion, and wash the lettuce.
5
Assemble the Burger
Toast the burger buns if desired. Place the lettuce on the bottom bun, add the cooked patty with melted cheese, then layer with tomato and onion. Top with the other half of the bun.
6
Serve
Serve immediately with your favorite sides.
